W.A.V.E.S. Wheelchairs And Veterans Enjoying Summer, inc. W.A.V.E.S. Wheelchairs and Veterans Enjoying Summer which stands for: Wheelchairs And Veterans Enjoying Summer, inc. I have a 100 ton USCG Lic. # 1148018.

is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization was started several years ago after I retired from my full time job as a Verizon employee and prior to that I worked as a Commercial diver for Local 1456 Dockbuilders Union up until the time I broke my neck in a diving accident in 1983. After years of convalescing and physical therapy I went back to work for Verizon and currently own and run the 34' downeast "Valhalla" which was purchased for the purpose of taking out people who ordinarily wouldn't get the chance to fish or boat because of any of the disabilities mentioned in the index. is a unique organization that allows small groups of physically and mentally challenged people to experience a day of fishing and sightseeing on the Great South Bay which is located on Long Island's South Shore from May until November then "Valhalla" heads South to Stuart, Florida where we offer the same opportunities. It is equipped to handle wheelchairs, walkers, canes and people with other special needs, i.e. the blind. We have worked successfully with the most challenged populations of children and adults with: AUTISM, MS, MD, SPINAL CORD INJURIES, TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES, DOWN SYNDROME AND ALL DISABLED VETERANS. We offer FREE fishing and boating and provide all tackle and bait. Just bring your lunch! For the sightseers we have a pleasant cruise around Captree State Park to the historic Fire Island Lighthouse. I must mention that without the volunteers there would be no WAVES. We stay afloat by the skilled help that comes in countless ways. As a Captain and boat owner it's a privilege to work together with the volunteers and families of the people bringing brought out for a fun day on the water. Thank you,
Captain “Kip” Clifford Johannesen & Crew
WAVES is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization
