Scheinberg has reportedly been organizing the celebrity yacht parties with the help of his longtime friend Doug Chabbott.

Though not everyone on the guest list even knows who the two of them are.

"One source claims not every celebrity has said yes to their invitation. They've been turned down by some stars who thought it was odd being they didn't know Mark or Doug," TMZ reported. "Same goes for Vergara -- Doug’s been linked to her in the past, but we’re told it’s all just friendly fun and nothing romantic."
