Savannah Buffett Named Godmother of Margaritaville at Sea Islander

Margaritaville at Sea has named Savannah Buffett, daughter of Jimmy Buffett, as the Godmother of its newest ship, Margaritaville at Sea Islander. The ship will debut in June with a 4-night cruise from Port Tampa Bay, featuring a stop in Cozumel, Mexico, and two 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!”
