Aqua Mania Adventures Sets Sail for a Cause
Aqua Mania Adventures is thrilled to announce the 8th annual Pink Sunset Sail, set to take place on September 30th, 2023. This event supports local breast cancer awareness foundations, Positive and Elektralyets, and continues to draw both locals and visitors to unite for a noble cause.
The Importance of Early Detection and Self-Awareness
Breast cancer affects more than just the individual; it impacts families and friends who support them through the treatment journey. Mercedes “Elektra” van der Waals-Wyatt, President of the Elektralyets Foundation, highlights the importance of early detection and encourages everyone to be breast-aware with their “Love the Tatas, Check ’em” approach.
Event Highlights: A Scenic Sail and Fundraising Activities
The Pink Sunset Sail will offer a 90-minute coastal sail into the sunset on Aqua Mania Adventures’ large sailing catamarans, Tango and Lambada. As guests enjoy the scenic voyage, a raffle will be held to raise additional funds for the cause.

Pre-Event Festivities: The Pink Mixer
Before the sail, attendees are invited to the Pink Mixer—a vibrant gathering featuring welcome drinks and hors d’oeuvres courtesy of ILTT, Captain D’s, and La Patrona. The event aims to offer a complete experience with music, refreshments, and snacks.
Community and Corporate Support: Fueling Growth
Last year, the event raised an impressive $4,000 for the Elektralyets and Positive Foundations through ticket sales and a raffle. Organizer Michele Korteweg expresses her gratitude for the continued support from the local community and businesses.
Beyond the Sail: Additional Breast Cancer Awareness Initiatives
Throughout October, collaborating organizations will provide free screening opportunities, educational workshops, and much more, aiming to reduce the stigma surrounding breast cancer.
Raffle Prizes and “Best Dressed Guest” Contest
The raffle offers a chance to win incredible prizes, including weekend stays and dining vouchers. Also, a “Best Dressed Guest” contest encourages attendees to let their creativity shine.
