FN’ Krewe (Foot’N Krewe)

FN’ Krewe is a barefoot waterski race team based in Winter Haven, Florida. The team was formed following the second annual Foot the Chain event—the first year it partnered with CleanPirateLife. After the event, a friend of Tim’s suggested that since so many teams had traveled to support their cause, they should, in turn, support those teams by competing in their races and contributing to their charities. Tim replied, “Get me a boat, and we’ll make it happen.” Within three weeks, that challenge became reality.

Over the next nine months, the team restored and built out a 1979 Barefoot Nautique—now known as the “Pirate Ship”—and FN’ Krewe officially launched at the third annual Foot the Chain event.

In the summer of 2025, the Pirate Ship made its first appearance at a treatment center and became a central part of Tim’s seminars, where he shares his story of experience, strength, and hope. Since then, the team has visited multiple treatment centers, using the boat as a powerful symbol of transformation. Tim’s journey—from leaving rehab with just $20 to becoming an entrepreneur traveling the country—demonstrates that recovery is not only possible, but sustainable.

In 2025, FN’ Krewe earned both second- and third-place finishes in competition. Beyond racing, the team continues to raise awareness and support for recovery initiatives, fueled by the generosity of donors and a shared mission to combine a passion for barefoot waterskiing with a message of lasting recovery.
