Boat Work

April 1st, 2025

Working perk for staff.

Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht loved the boat parade for the Super Bowl LV celebration so much he’s decided to make it an annual thing.

At least for his front office staff.

In a sitdown with Kay Adams yesterday of FanDuelTV at the NFL owners meetings held at the swanky Breakers in Palm Beach, Licht explained how he has sort of a working day off that he treats his staff to when free agency begins to die down. It’s a boat day.

Licht and his staff began this tradition last year when Licht more than once quipped that re-signing Lavonte David, Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield was worthy of a boat parade. And so after those three huge free agents re-signed with the Bucs, Licht explained to Adams he rented out a boat and piled on his front office staff as they floated in the waters of Tampa.

But it’s not just a day to get hammered in the sun and mock people driving to and from work. Licht said he and his staff actually work on the boat.

Last year Licht said the Bucs signed Ben Bredeson while floating on the boat. This year? The Bucs re-signed Sterling Shepard as the boat navigated waters.

No word if Bucco Bruce Arians was on board or not.

You can see (and hear) Licht explain the working day off to Adams in the video below (if the video doesn’t appear, click here.)

    Love that pic. It’s April 1st… I used to wake up on April fools and I would see a social media post that we traded away Jameis. I would have so much joy for a moment before I’d realize the day.

    [Licht *clearly* said “Ben Bredeson.” Why make things up? — Joe] Thing is, when youre obsessed with your passion, even in a downtime boat ride, you’re still thinking and probably working a little, of course remotely.

    As Jimmy might have said …

    “Boat drinks
    Waitress, Bruce needs two more boat drinks
    Before headin’ south ‘fore his dream shrinks
    He hadda win where it’s warm!”

    And thankfully, he gave us warm bodies a Super Bowl in the process …
