The Carrie Holton Memorial Christmas Dinner Cruise Benefiting Anchor House

Thursday, December 3, 2026 – 6:00 PM
Departs from the SeaPort Manatee Cruise Terminal

​

Celebrate the Christmas Season on Tampa Bay

Join Anchor House for our Second Annual Christmas Dinner Cruise! This exclusive evening will feature a holiday buffet, two complimentary beverages, music, and breathtaking views as we sail across Tampa Bay toward the iconic Skyway Bridge.

​​

Carrie Holton was the wife of Anchor House Executive Director Jeff Holton for 28 years before her sudden passing in April 2026. She was a loving mother, dedicated teacher, devoted wife, and faithful supporter of Anchor House and its mission.

​

Carrie loved Christmas and especially enjoyed attending Anchor House’s first annual Christmas Dinner Cruise last year. In recognition of her life and her connection to Anchor House, we have chosen to name this year’s event The Carrie Holton Memorial Christmas Dinner Cruise.

​

This remains Anchor House’s annual Christmas Dinner Cruise, with the same purpose of bringing friends and supporters together for an evening of fellowship and celebration. This year, we are simply dedicating the event to Carrie’s memory as a way of honoring her life, her love for Christmas, and the joy she brought to those around her.

Limited tickets available: 140 spots available
