The unusual film project got started when independent producer Randolf Turrow was asked to judge a teen beauty pageant in Palm Springs. As a publicity stunt, the pageant promoters were renting a cruise ship and packing it with current and former beauty contest winners from across the United States. They didn't have enough guys going on the boat, so Turrow decided to call some of his friends and put together a crew to film this ocean quest. The deal was a free cruise, all expenses paid, in the Caribbean. Before setting sail, Turrow telephoned a friend in Texas, Mark Schultz, who agreed to put up the film's production and distribution budget, hoping to cash in on his investment in theaters and video rights. Six days before cast-off, all Turrow needed was a script. He turned to Valerie Breiman to write and direct the film.
