This was a fun day out with family and friends when we first got ShipsAhoy! (prior to any major renovations.)

The real Story of ShipsAhoy!

The original owner of "r cabana iii".

...was Brigadier General Gerald "Jerry" Alde Hart, who bought the beautiful yacht brand new in 2004 for $5 million dollars. The General was a decorated WWII  fighter pilot who flew 55 missions in P-38s with the 474th Fighter Group from Warmwell, England. He was shot down by ground fire over France in July of 1944. They consider him a hero there because, even though he was headed to prison, he refused to eat with those German soldiers who stole part of  his money to treat themselves to that meal. Upon returning home, he joined his father in the family business. He was a success and an avid sportsman, but no stranger to pain and loss having survived the loss of his first wife and a beloved son. 

Jerry passed on February 26, 2017, survived by his second wife, a daughter, and a grand daughter. Before his passing at 94 years of age he expressed a wish to a dear friend... "I've been selfish hanging onto this boat for so long. I want it to go to a family that will have as much fun on it as we have had." 

The story continues...

Well that "dear friend" came to be a dear friend of ours as well. When we contacted him about this beautiful boat Ray's brother told us about, we shared with him our story of the loss of our oldest son five years previous, and told him we were ready to have some joy in our lives and this was our dream. I (Carleen) sent him an email explaining all this, which normally, he never would have answered, except... he had lost his own son six months ago. Together we, and the General, were all part of "the club" no one ever wants to be in. "You are like family to me,"  he said,  "and  I'm going to do whatever it takes to get you this boat." And he did. So the boat passed from a pilot to a pilot, and we are all quite sure there were three boys in Heaven who watched the whole thing go down.

How ShipsAhoy! got her name...

Our son, Christian, LOVED ChipsAhoy! cookies. Every year on Christian's birthday, family and friends have ChipsAhoy! in remembrance of him. When I was charged with the task of coming up with a new name for the boat, I thought of lots of good ones, but none of them were right. One night while washing dishes I closed my eyes and said, "Christian, what would you name our boat?" Right away in my head came the words, " ShipsAhoy! " and I knew it was from him. It couldn't be a more perfect name for our boat, which is in fact, our home. And you can always be sure that we have ChipsAhoy! cookies on board!

Now, that you know the real story of why ShipsAhoy! is so special, feel free to go to the drop down menu/ Headerline and explore the rest of our site.

Testimonials

"The boat cruise was great, the boat is amazing and the food was awesome! Cannot say enough wonderful things – thanks for everything!!!"

-- Vice President of Conference Services

"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that the event last night was such a success! It went beyond my expectations and your crew and DJ were absolutely outstanding. The food was superb and I just want you to know how much I appreciate your assistance in putting this together for me!  Thank you so much!"

-- Mother of the Bride

"Everything was fantastic!! Please thank your team for such a great time. Our attendees loved it, and Eric was such a great coordinator!

--Marketing Manager, Conferences & Tradeshows

"Our group had an enjoyable day. The weather was perfect, food was outstanding and the overall experience was quite enjoyable... as it was last time. Everyone had positive comments as well. I am not a salmon lover, by any means, but decided to try it. It was awesome!"

-- Kris K. Hart, Out and About Club, March 17th, 2015 

"Leapdoctor.com would like to  Thank  You for a wonderful evening.  From the moment we stepped on the ship until well after walking off – it was Amazing!  The entire staff was so accommodating.  The food was incredible, the 3rd level was so much fun, and then the dancing – what a party!   At the end with the little touches like Santa handing out the ornaments and  the staff waiting with cookies and hot beverages – was really impressive!  This by far was the best Holiday event for the price point  (we could have gone to any expensive restaurant and just had dinner – but with no fun – no thanks! ) Prior to even leaving the ship, we discussed booking again with StarShip.  You have an amazing crew and we like to give special Thanks to the following associates for their kindness and generosity:

Table Host - Ryan, Thank you for providing such great service with all of our requests.

Manager – Dan, Thank  you for taking our group picture.

Johnny and Chanel -  Charcutier’s (meat cutters) at the buffet – Thank you for you hospitality."

-- Janet Fimbel, Leapdoctor.com, December 10th, 2014

"Wow! The Yacht StarShip was the perfect venue for Emergence! I cannot thank you enough. All of our members had a terrific experience and most had never had the opportunity to take a sail before. I hope you all enjoyed the event as well. A Huge thank you to you and your team. Please pass along my sincerest gratitude. From start to finish your team made our guests feel like royalty! 

-- Ashley Ehrman, Emergence, May 28th, 2014

"My company EKS had our Christmas Party tonight on your ship.  Without a doubt, it was our best party ever.  Your staff from Captain Tom on down provided us with outstanding service from start to finish.  The food was excellent all around.  In fact, the bread pudding was such a hit that some of our folks inquired about the recipe - which was provided by your chef.  Janie Ambrose is a superstar.  She was on top of everything.  By the end of the cruise, everyone knew her name because she interacted with everyone to make sure they were being taken care of.  The Casino crew (Karl, Rachel and Jazz) you contracted were also great.  They explained the ins and outs of the games and kept everyone interested and excited." --EKS, Holiday Party Cruise, December 21st, 2013
