ShipsAhoy! Life...

A day on the water with ShipsAhoy!

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.

There are sand volleyball courts, a wooded area with trails, and beaches all the way around the 11-acre island. This is one of the most unique experiences in all of metro Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater and again, you can only get there by boat… and even better, on a luxury yacht!
