Gasparilla is coming fast, and so is the Invasion! 

Once again, Ye Mystic Krewe of Neptune will take to the high seas to kick off Gasparilla with the Invasion of Tampa. This is always one of the weekend’s most popular events so do not miss out! If you are new to the Krewe, you will not want to miss out on the opportunity to be part of thousands of boats invading Tampa to kick off Gasparilla. It is an honored tradition definitely worth the experience!

The boat will depart the Tampa Convention Center at 9 am on Saturday, January 25th and return by 1:15 so we can catch a bus to staging.  Also, the hotel, is close by the departing area — just a short 4 block walk!

This year we have only chartered one half of the boat and will be strictly limited to 75 seats, so do not wait or you will be a landlubber on Saturday morning. We will have the second deck to ourselves and share the third deck (open deck) with another Krewe.

If you do not buy a ticket now, we cannot guarantee any seats will be available once we hit 75.  When they are gone, they are gone. Another Krewe has purchased the other deck.  Every year we have had at least 90 people who are interested, so do it TODAY! Last year we had several folks wait too long and they were disappointed.

This year we are initially limiting sales to 4 tickets per member until Dec 16. Then we will open it wide up to any amount. If you have a bus load of hard drinking wenches and need more than four tickets, call Vic and we will work it out. 

This year, your payment IS your RSVP.  If you do not buy a ticket, we will not be able to save one for you. So, buy your ticket today!

This year the cost is $150 each for you and your main squeeze and $150 for guests. Bus transportation will be provided to staging after the Invasion. Breakfast and lunch on the boat are also included.
