There’s a pattern across people who serve.

Attention stays wide and the mind keeps tracking, even when there’s nothing left to respond to.

Over time, that becomes routine.

The alternative to that pace is time on the water.
The rhythm of the kayak.
The movement of the water.
The next cast.

That’s where something shifts.

Not all at once, but enough to notice.

The pace slows.
Focus holds.
The background noise fades for a while.

The work doesn’t change. But stepping out of that constant state, even briefly, has an impact.

And that's the power of what we do at Heroes On The Water.

Head's up!
Our next event is coming up on May 31st. Signups are live on Eventbrite.

Where: Round Island Riverside Park
When: May 31st
Time: Arrive by 7:45, so we can be on the water by 8am. There will be a short safety meeting before launching, which typically takes about 10 minutes. We'll be on the water for about 4 hours, then come back to shore and get a free lunch. Typically, we are done by 1-2 pm.

Come join us for a fun day of fishing, camaraderie, and food. Don't want to fish? Come join us and enjoy a beautiful paddle around one of our favorite spots.
Want to bring your kid? Please do.
Want to bring your spouse? Also, please do.

If you have any special needs, we will work with you to get you on the water safely.

Be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen and a waterproof bag for your electronics (if you choose to bring them on the water).

As usual, if life changes your plans, please let us know so we can open your reserved spot for someone else.

If you have questions or need additional information, feel free to reach out here and we will get back to you soon.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Free kayak fishing for our veterans, first responders and their families.

Come join us on Sunday, April 12th for our 7th annual 5K fun run, hosted by Southern Timing. All proceeds go to support our local Treasure Coast Chapter of Heroes on the Water!

The Heroes On The Water 5K is on Sunday April 12, 2026.

Thousands of people served.
Hundreds of chapters and volunteers.
Countless hours on the water.

But the real impact isn’t the numbers — it’s what those numbers represent. Thousands of veterans, active duty military, law enforcement officers and first responders are gaining mental clarity, finding strength in community, and forging unbreakable bonds with their families through kayak fishing.

Every donated dollar, every volunteer hour, every partner with us on this journey ensures those experiences remain free and accessible to everyone who participates.

And for that, we thank you.
