Host your special event at Battleship Cove.

Host your special event on President Kennedy's party ship, the "Joey P." Named for JFK's older brother, a Naval aviator killed in WWII, the USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. historically held a special place in the President's heart, and was frequently used by the Kennedy family for private parties: In 1961, DD850 sailed to Washington, DC, for the President's inaugural celebration, and in 1962, JFK and Jackie observed the America's Cup races from her decks.

Relive the days of Camelot on the Kennedy Flight Deck. Constructed for use with Kennedy's drone anti-submarine helicopter during her Cold War modernization, the Kennedy Flight Deck offers sweeping views of Battleship Cove and a glimpse into the glamour of the Kennedy era.
