Support Our 2025 Annual Appeal

Students board Christeen and Ida May for hands-on STEM, collecting water samples and studying marine life—often their first time on the water.

Partnering with Title I schools, we bring affordable marine science and sailing to thousands of kids every year.

From adaptive and veteran sailing to junior programs and paddle rentals, we ensure everyone can connect with the waterfront.
