His company Whet Travel has been featured on the Inc 500 list twice and has been featured in media such a USA Today, NY Times, Travel Channel, MTV, NBC, WSJ, Billboard and Forbes just to name a few.
He is noted as the youngest person to single-handedly charter a cruise ship and has fully executed 26 full ships to date.
Besides his other cruises, his main love is the Groove Cruise which is the world’s premiere Electronic Music Cruise and the only music charter that sails yearly from both coasts…
Obviously, last year, Groove Cruise, along with the entire cruise industry, came to a screeching halt due to Covid and was hit the hardest.
However, rising up from the ashes, Groove Cruise is ready to set sail in January 2022.
How did he do it?
Let’s get into the mind of Jason Beukema.
(Part 2 coming!)
