We're excited to announce our new partnership with San Francisco Bay Ferry!
Our partnerships are special to us. They mean that other organizations see the value in what we do to help veterans heal through maritime activities and camaraderie, and to help them out of isolation and loneliness to participation and connection.
Thank you, SF Bay San Francisco Bay Ferry.

Last week we had over 20 veterans and family members onboard for a perfect day of sailing.
Everyone had a great experience!
We took advantage of the glorious day, and managed a full Bay tour, with the Golden Gate bridge (via Raccoon Strait), the SF city front, McCovey Cove, the Bay bridge troll, and then some well heeled sailing for the finale back to Richmond.
