Sail Away
An Original Song By The Vacation Pirates
Sail away, the night’s alive!
Heave away, haul away!
Under Caribbean skies!
Bound across the islands!
Sail away, the night’s alive!
Heave away, haul away!
Under Caribbean skies!
Bound across the islands!
We left Miami full of smiles
Chasing sun for a thousand miles
Ocean breeze and open seas
Island hopping through the keys
Nassau glowing white and blue
Every street a better view
Steel drums drifting through the square
Warm salt hanging in the air
Sail away and raise your glass!
Heave away, haul away!
drinks and sunshine, what a blast!
Bound across the islands!
Sail away and raise your glass!
Heave away, haul away!
drinks and sunshine, what a blast!
Bound across the islands!
Cozumel and bright blue waves
Little shops and ocean sprays
Palm trees dancing in the light
Paradise from morn till night
Jamaica moving slow and sweet
Music rolling through the streets
Cold drinks melting in the sun
Every hour more damn fun
Sail away and sing it loud!
Heave away, haul away!
With the sea vacation crowd!
Bound across the islands!
Sail away and sing it loud!
Heave away, haul away!
With the sea vacation crowd!
Bound across the islands!
Grand Cayman so clear and bright
Turquoise water pure delight
White sand beaches, ocean air
Not a single worry there
Aruba painted gold at dusk
Warm sea breeze, the rum's a must
Sunset fading soft and slow
Another round before we go
Sail away, me hearties all!
Heave away, haul away!
Laughin’ with mates, havin’ a ball!
Bound across the islands!
Sail away, me hearties all!
Heave away, haul away!
Laughin’ with mates, havin’ a ball!
Bound across the islands!
Nassau!
Aruba!
Roatan!
Bimini!
Costa Maya!
Cozumel!
Curacao!
Grand Turk!
Grand Cayman!
Half Moon Cay!
Mahogany Bay!
St. Thomas!
Ocho Rios!
Amber Cove!
Puerto Rico!
Sail away, the night’s alive!
Heave away, haul away!
Under Caribbean skies!
Bound across the islands!
Sail away, the night’s alive!
Heave away, haul away!
Under Caribbean skies!
Bound across the islands!

Hear ye, hear ye…
The sun-chasin’, island-hoppin’, rum-sippin’ crew of Vacation Pirates be proudly unveil’n “SAIL AWAY”… now chartin’ a course across all major streamin’ ports.
Aye… this one be different.
No sea monsters.
No catastrophic injuries.
No angry siblings of legendary undersea villains.
Just the thing that started this whole adventure in the first place…
Cruisin’.
Born from the very heart of cruise culture, “SAIL AWAY” be a love letter to warm water, open decks, tropical ports, and that feelin’ what hits the moment the shoreline starts gettin’ smaller behind ye.
Miami fades into the distance.
The sea stretches wide.
And suddenly the real world seems a whole lot less important.
From Nassau to Aruba, Cozumel to Grand Cayman, this be the soundtrack for watchin’ the sunset from the rail, discoverin’ a new island every mornin’, and wonderin’ whether one more drink be a brilliant idea.
(It usually is.)
Filled with sunshine, steel drums, ocean breezes, and enough Caribbean spirit to make customs slightly nervous, “SAIL AWAY” captures the simple truth every cruiser already knows:
The destination be wonderful… But the voyage be the point.
So gather yer crew, raise a glass, and point yer bow toward someplace warm.
Because the night be alive.
And the islands be waitin’.
“SAIL AWAY” be now streamin’ wherever music be found.
Go on then… press play.
And if ye happen to find yerself pricing another cruise before the song ends…
Well, that ain’t our fault. 🏴☠️

We admit it… we're biased. We work our butts off creating awesome off-the-rack designs, and we'd love nothing more than to see you wearing one on your next cruise. But some occasions deserve something a little more personal.
Whether you're planning a family cruise, girls trip, bachelor or bachelorette party, birthday celebration, wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, class reunion, or any other excuse to get your favorite people together on a cruise, a custom shirt turns an already unforgettable vacation into something even more memorable.
Yeah, it looks great on the ship. But long after the tan fades and the luggage is unpacked, it becomes something even better… a souvenir that brings back the memories every time you pull it out of the closet.
