OUR PARTNER BOATS
In order to provide an exceptionally safe and supportive recreational experience, our
participating captains are rigorously vetted. They and their vessels meet and/or exceed U.S.
Coast Guard regulations for safety, security, and experience. Although our vessels are not all
‘handicapped accessible’ in the technical sense, (ramps, etc), if you want to go fishing, we will
get you on the boat! Typically we take up to 6 veterans per trip; if medical conditions require,
we will also allow a family member, friend, or battle buddy to accompany a veteran in need.
