Participants hopped in colorful rides for an afternoon of fun.
But there is more to the ride than that.
The event was conceived after the 2017 hurricanes to reengage the boating community.
The first one was such a success they brought it back again this year.
A portion of the proceeds go to The Boys and Girls Club of St. Thomas.

Following the kick off, the US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer met with Boys and Girls Club.
