Tribute to Star of Orion



I've always said, a ship isn't just a ship. It's a vessel of dreams. An escape capsule. A time machine. Star of Orion was everyone of those.. not just for us but for over 15,000 charter guests over a span of nearly 14 years. She showcased the art of sailing, kept everyone safe, always brought us home, and changed the lives of not only Capt Dan and Dianne but all who sailed upon her. She was a staple of Fort Myers Beach.
Hurrican Ian took our beloved Star of Orion September 28, 2022. Although perfectly prepared, the storm surge was too much for her. The outpouring of words and support has meant so much from all our guests of 13+ years. Many are asking how they can help financially as we not only survive the loss of business but also purchase and re-equip another vessel. My sister set up a GoFundMe page early on. Those donations have and continue to support us.
