Johnny Depp rents a home to dock the Vajoliroja while in Florida

This is a great aerial clip of Johnny's yacht the Vajoliroja docked in Florida last week. Johnny was there with his family for the Sheila Witkin Memorial Concert.

The name Vajoliroja is a combintion of Johnny's family's names, Va for Vanessa, Jo for Johnny, LiRo for his 9 year old daughter Lily Rose and Ja for his son Jack. And if you say it right, it sounds like The Jolly Roger...lol
