Daughter of Late Jimmy Buffett To Join
Christening Ceremony in June
TAMPA,
Fla., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Margaritaville at Sea has named Savannah
Buffett, daughter of the late singer, songwriter,
best-selling author, and sailor Jimmy
Buffett, as Godmother of its newest ship, Margaritaville at
Sea Islander. Debuting in June, the inaugural sailing
will take place June 14 on a 4-night
itinerary from Port Tampa Bay,
featuring a stop in Cozumel,
Mexico and two fun-filled sea days.
"I'm beyond excited to be named Godmother of Margaritaville at
Sea Islander and look forward to rendering the right
concoction of love and luck so she may plow the seas amidst smooth,
untroubled waters in search of that one particular harbor,"
exclaimed Savannah Buffett.
"As a descendent of captains and boat builders, I accept this honor
in tribute to the legacy of my seafaring ancestors. Cheers to many
a lovely cruise!"
Savannah spent much of her childhood traveling on seaplanes,
sailboats, and tour buses with her father. Raised amidst the rhythm
of the waves and the allure of sandy shores, Savannah's childhood
was immersed in maritime culture.
From acting and literature to music history and photography, she
delved into a myriad of disciplines, drawing inspiration from her
father's diverse range of talents. Throughout her career, she's
worn numerous hats, serving as a creative and musical consultant,
hosting her own radio show on SiriusXM's Radio Margaritaville, and
co-authoring two children's books with her father, "Jolly Mon" and
"Trouble Dolls." Amidst her array of achievements and passion
for discovery, Savannah holds her lifelong bond with her father as
her most beloved treasure.
"Jimmy would be thrilled that Savannah is the Godmother of the
Islander," noted John
Cohlan, CEO of Margaritaville Holdings and Buffett's partner
of 28 years. "With his eldest daughter holding this honor, the
christening of the Islander will be a very, very special day
for all of us."
With four to seven-night cruises to Key West, Cozumel, and Progreso, Margaritaville at Sea
Islander will span 12 passenger decks accommodating 2,650
passengers. The more than 250,000 guests who have sailed aboard the
Palm Beach-based Margaritaville at
Sea Paradise will find several familiar favorites, including
Paradise Pickleball at Sea, Frank and Lola's Pizzeria, and
Cheeseburger in Paradise as well as unforgettable new spaces and
experiences to explore like the world's only three-story LandShark
Bar, Mexican Cutie Cantina, a
Margaritaville-inspired cornhole and mini-golf course, and new
family-friendly spaces like the Caribbean Amphibian Play Pad and
Slide.
"We are honored to have Savannah as the Godmother of the
Islander as she embodies the lifestyle Jimmy was passionate
about: life on the water, great food, entertainment, and everything
our guests have come to enjoy while vacationing with Margaritaville
at Sea," shared Christopher Ivy, CEO
of Margaritaville at Sea.

at Sea has redesigned all 1,105 staterooms with all new furnishings
