A Royal Palm Beach company that marketed itself as the operator of an official Pittsburgh Steelers fan cruise is now the subject of a $3 million judgment recorded in Palm Beach County, court records show.
The Pittsburgh Steelers filed a Notice of Recording Foreign Judgment against Seaside Cruise Events LLC on July 21, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County. Court records list the case number as 502026CA008190XXXAMB, assigned to Division AK, with the filing entered by the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller Michael A. Caruso. The notice states the action was taken under the Florida Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, Section 55.501 of the Florida Statutes.
The notice identifies the judgment creditor as the Pittsburgh Steelers and lists Jesse Stolow of Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney in Miami as the creditor's attorney in Florida. It was sent to Seaside Cruise Events in care of Robert Chamberlin at a residential address in Royal Palm Beach and at a St. Petersburg address, records show.
Recording an out-of-state judgment in Florida is the step a creditor takes so the judgment can be enforced here like one entered by a Florida court. The Steelers judgment was recorded in the county's official records on June 9, 2026, along with a certified copy of the Pennsylvania case file, according to the recording stamps on the documents.
The underlying case was filed in Pennsylvania. Court records show Pittsburgh Steelers LLC and PSSI Stadium LLC, the entity that leases Acrisure Stadium, sued Seaside Cruise Events for breach of contract in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County. The docket lists the case as GD-26-000733, filed January 23, 2026, before Judge Alan D. Hertzberg.
According to the complaint, the two sides signed an Agreement for Sponsorship on March 15, 2025 that gave Seaside limited rights to use Steelers marketing to advertise, promote and host what the filing calls the Official Steelers Fan Cruise. The complaint says the deal carried a total sponsorship fee of $3 million payable in installments through June 30, 2030, starting with a $137,500 payment at signing and a second $137,500 payment due April 30, 2025.
The lawsuit alleges Seaside made neither payment. It further alleges the company advertised the cruise at steelersfancruise.com and, upon information and belief, accepted bookings and took payments from fans. Printouts attached to the complaint show cabins offered from about $2,150 to $3,500 per person and an add-on hotel package near Miami International Airport with transfers to the Port of Miami.
The complaint says the Steelers sent a notice of default on June 24, 2025 and terminated the agreement on August 22, 2025, and that Seaside canceled the cruise, which the filing says had been scheduled for May 2026.
Seaside did not file a response in the Pennsylvania case, according to the plaintiffs' court papers and the Allegheny County docket. In an email dated March 16, 2026 that was filed as an exhibit, Chamberlin wrote that Seaside had acknowledged the sponsorship payments were not made and was not disputing the facts, and that the company was working to finalize refunds to fans. He wrote that Seaside took responsibility for the failures and wanted to discuss a resolution.
The docket shows a default judgment was entered March 25, 2026 in the amount of $3 million, and lists it as unsatisfied as of an April 16, 2026 docket report. A default judgment is entered when a defendant does not answer a lawsuit, rather than after a trial on the merits. The Steelers' filings say the agreement also entitles them to attorney's fees, costs and 1 percent monthly interest on unpaid amounts.
The Florida record reviewed by Boca Post is a notice of recording and does not include a response from Seaside Cruise Events or any Florida filing contesting the judgment.
