It’s Contest Time

Magic & Awe of Serendipity

presented by Serendipity Yacht Cruises

SERENDIPITY. It is a magical, fun-sounding word used to describe a happy accident, a chance encounter that opens our eyes to the unexpected. It allows us to see bridges where others see nothing.

Everyone has a serendipity story. We know by hearing all the excitement from our Magic & Awe of Serendipity Contest.

There are many aha moments, unexpected interactions, paths crossed, unplanned business encounters, doors opened, and meeting partners in an odd, fun, mysterious, wonderous, unbelievable way.

Due to the overwhelming response, the deadline to enter our Magic & Awe of Serendipity Contest is extended to March 31, 2023.

We see people opened their eyes to the unexpected, taking the leap, and capturing fruitful serendipitous romantic and business moments. They embraced the opportunity of the unexpected.

Tell us YOUR story of those aha moments when you connected the dots that changed your life, your career, and rocked your world. Inspire us with those random events that set you on a new path. Bring a smile. Startle us. Share the memories.

Lorraine Castiglia, the Director of Serendipity Yacht Cruises explains, “Serendipity happens when we break out of our comfort zones by closely observing, connecting the dots, and cultivating the importance behind it all. We must seize opportunities. Paths cross, doors open, and a treasure trove of possibilities can occur; things happen for a reason. Serendipity lights the way.”
