Nearly nine years after McFarland’s infamous Fyre Festival—the event that eventually resulted in the 34-year-old’s incarceration in a federal prison from March 2018 to March 2022—the entrepreneur is planning to personally ride a jet ski from Honduras to Venezuela. The 15,000-nautical-mile journey to Venezuela is set to depart from Utila, an island off the coast of Honduras.
But why is McFarland doing all this? He revealed that he is being compensated for the stunt, as he owes $26 million in restitution for defrauding his investors and ticket buyers for the Fyre Fest debacle.
Despite having a bad track record with events and festivals, McFarland hopes to throw another event on Margarita Island, 24 miles off the Venezuelan coast.
When asked about the Venezuelan people and their current need for a party or event, the businessman replied, “What we are really good at, and what we just proved we are great at, is driving tourism, particularly for island destinations. We bring exposure and people and hope to make a positive impact on the area.”
McFarland will reportedly depart on his adventure as soon as weather permits and does not plan on waiting for the political climate in Venezuela to settle.
