Did you know......celeb story #2!

Since Feb. 1, 2009 is our 15th anniversary, we felt it would be fun to share with you some of our celebrity stories. Over the years, we have sailed with many, many VIPs on Maui for their vacations, sporting events, or ultra-hip A-list only gatherings. So, in light of our mood to share more stories, here is another celebrity who choose Paragon Sailing Charters for their fun Maui water activity company.

Usher Raymond, or as most of you know as USHER, R&B singer, decided to take our Lahaina Sunset Sail during his stay at the Ritz Carlton, Kapalua. He was a member of our regular tour, and brought along with him a stunningly beautiful date, as this was well before his August, 2007 wedding. He was a bit late to the tour, and the Captain held the boat to wait; as this is our policy for all customers, to give them just a bit of extra time to find us.

Of course, our female crew were quite excited to meet Mr. Raymond, and he was gracious and courteous as ever. He even left a pair of shoes on board after the tour ended! These were of course held for his retrieval, which he never did, so they became mementos of his sailing with us!! And, he enjoyed his tour sooo much, that he booked a 2nd Lahaina Sunset Sail during the same vacation!

Stay tuned for more celebrity stories, as we have many more to share! And come sailing with us! At Paragon Sailing Charters, we look forward to sharing our passion for sailing with you (and also a few more VIP stories, too!)
