‘DeSantis Flotilla’ parades up St. Johns River in support of governor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Republican Party of Duval County organized a flotilla on the St. Johns River Saturday to honor Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Boat after Boat paraded toward the Main Street Bridge, starting around noon, as some state party leaders watched from the deck of the USS Orleck.

GOP leaders said it was the first big, organized flotilla for the governor and more than 1,300 boats registered for the event, which coincided with Jacksonville’s Bicentennial and a quarterly gathering of The Republican Party of Florida in the River City.

“The boating community really supports our governor, and I think it’s a great way to show support. It’s a different way. People take notice,” said Christian Ziegler, vice-chair of the state GOP.

Many of the boats flew American and DeSantis flags — with some passengers dressing like the American flag themselves.
