The highlight of the Presidential Treatment is the three-hour excursion aboard the Presidential Yacht. The U.S.S Sequoia is a 104-foot, Trumpy-designed yacht built in 1925 and was recently named a national historic landmark. It has served numerous U.S. Presidents, world leaders and many other dignitaries since it first sailed the Potomac River in the 1920's. The vessel is owned by the Sequoia Presidential Yacht Group. LLC and their mission is to preserve the history of "America's most famous boat."

"We are proud that the Sequoia Presidential Yacht has been elegantly restored and now a national historic landmark," said Gary Silversmith, owner of the U.S.S. Sequoia. "We have had plenty of practice with more than a dozen U.S. Presidents, so we are more than prepared for guests who elect to experience the 'Presidential Treatment' with us and Lansdowne Resort."

Lansdowne's Presidential Treatment package was created as part of the Destination Dream List of unique experiences offered by every property in the Destination Hotels & Resorts portfolio. The concept was for all Destination Hotels & Resorts properties to offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences, or activities people may wish to cross off their 'bucket list' during their lifetime.
