The extraordinary stories of a man and his boat & the foundation keeping the dream alive!

A charismatic 25 yr old from Indiana trades the life of a young stock trader for that of derelict sailboat captain. With no previous experience, he and his bearded pals dare to circumnavigate the globe in desperate pursuit of a meaningful life.

The 2026 Chasing Bubbles Regatta season is in the books.
🫧 🏴‍☠️
Six regattas. Over 100 kids introduced to life on the water. Countless sunsets, questionable race challenges, epic raft-ups, and friendships that’ll last a lifetime.

This season had some incredible highs... and some very real lows. Bubbles nearly became a casualty herself. What followed reminded us exactly why it’s important we continue to carry Alex’s dream forward. Cruisers stepped up. Boats stepped up. The mission kept moving north even without Alex’s beloved ship leading the charge. And in the process, you all proved two very important things.

☝️First, Alex’s spirit is still out here doing what it’s always done, bringing legends together. People from different countries, different backgrounds, and different walks of life finding friendship, adventure, and community because one guy dared to chase a dream.

✌️Second, when enough good people come together, we can make a real impact. More than 100 kids stepped aboard a sailboat this season, many for the very first time. Some of them may never look at the horizon the same way again.

That’s what makes this special. The Chasing Bubbles Foundation has always believed that philanthropy and fun can coexist. This season proved it.

To every sailor, volunteer, sponsor, supporter, Youth Day host, challenge winner, challenge loser, and member of this beautifully chaotic squadron:
Thank you… 🙏🏼

13 years ago today, we lost Captain Alex Rust.

Crazy how time flies… and how deeply we still miss the legend who inspired this story, this mission, and so many people to dream bigger. 🌎⛵

Alex believed life was meant to be lived boldly. He chased adventure, embraced the unknown, and inspired others to take that first step.

So today, take the extra step!
Send the message. Book the trip. Start the project. Take the risk. Live a little more boldly in honor of Alex.

This year, because of this community, the Chasing Bubbles Foundation has taken the dream further than ever before — impacting more kids across the Caribbean than at any point in our history through sailing, adventure, and hope. ❤️

If you’d like to help us continue the mission and keep Alex’s spirit alive for years to come, consider supporting the foundation today or joining our monthly “Spirit of Alex” campaign.

The adventure continues. 🌊

Youth Day is the mission.
🫧
Because all it takes is one moment! A kid stepping onto a boat for the first time, seeing the horizon, feeling what’s possible can change everything.

That’s what Alex believed in. That life doesn’t have to follow a script. That you can choose adventure. That you can dream bigger and go chase it.

Every regatta, every mile, every bit of chaos… it all leads here.

The final chapter of regattas this season starts in 2 days in Christmas Cove! Set a course for the VIs, time is running out.

The final Chasing Bubbles Regatta of the season starts NEXT WEEK, and we’re bringing this beautiful mess into the US Virgin Islands where it belongs…
🇻🇮 🫧 🏴‍☠️
It all kicks off in Christmas Cove, USVI on May 13th, where we’ll all tie up, crack something cold, and get this floating circus underway in proper style. Huge shoutout to our friends at , .usvi, and for helping make this one happen, for ensuring nobody has to pretend they meal planned, and for bringing the live music that’ll keep this thing rolling well past the point of “probably should call it a night.”

The racing will be wild. The challenges will be questionable. The stories will absolutely get better every time they’re told.

And then… the grand finale.

This award ceremony is shaping up to be the highlight of the entire season. The kind of night where the drinks flow, the laughs get louder, the trophies get handed out, and everyone remembers exactly why this whole thing exists in the first place. Adventure. Community. Chaos. Purpose. The kind of ending Captain Alex would’ve raised a glass to.

One last run, gang. Let’s finish this season the way Alex would’ve wanted… full throttle and unforgettable

In the absence of Bubbles, the party with a purpose hasn’t missed a beat.

That says everything.

While she’s getting the love she deserves, this wild squad has kept Captain Alex’s spirit charging full speed through the islands the only way that makes sense… loud, salty, slightly unhinged, and with a whole lot of heart. You’ve kept the raft-ups rowdy, the race challenges ridiculous, the stories flowing, and most importantly, the mission alive. Every sailor who has shown up, stepped up, and kept this thing rolling has done Alex and the Chasing Bubbles Foundation proud.

We’ve been with you in spirit through every chaotic start line, every laugh-until-it-hurts award ceremony, and every completely unnecessary but somehow mandatory race challenge.

And don’t get too comfortable just yet… this story isn’t finished.

We’ve got one more regatta coming in hot next month in the USVI, so don’t go far, squadron. The horizon’s still calling.

That’s a wrap, BVI! Huge shoutout to everyone that came out and celebrated the spirit of Captain Alex. Thanks for hosting, 🫧

It’s now time to set your sites on Christmas Cove, USVI! Get there for a legendary raftup alongside your new best friends at ! They’ll have the pizzas covered so that you can focus on the rum and live music 🤟🏼. Get there by May 13th.

Thanks to our partners at .usvi, this regatta isn’t just the season ender, it’s the one you’ve been waiting for with an award ceremony on the red carpet unlike any we’ve put together in the past. Whether you’re coming for the vibes, the pizza, the rum, the race, or the boat show, trust us when we say you won’t be disappointed.
