Heroes on the Water helps wounded veterans and their families relax, rehabilitate, and reintegrate through kayak fishing and the outdoors.

Heroes on the Water (HOW), Coordinated Therapeutic Programs provide alternative therapy options to providers of treatment to individuals diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The benefits of the HOW programs in conjunction with traditional methods of treatment, including recreational, individual, expressive, and group therapy, are significant. The experience can transcend barriers, enhance safety, decrease anxiety and the other symptoms associated with PTSD and TBI, thereby enhancing the overall treatment process. Heroes on the Water is actively seeking partnerships with established treatment programs, including inpatient traditional facilities and outpatient group sessions, to assist in the healing process, while facilitating a positive interaction with nature for our nations warriors.

Veterans and first responders!

Our first event of the new season is live.
We are hosting our first Fall/Winter event on Nov 15th at Round Island Riverside Park.

For those who have not joined us before, please join us for a fun day of fishing, paddling and enjoying the beauty of our beloved Indian River Lagoon. Round Island is a fantastic spot to come relax, soak up the views and peace of the river, and catch some fish.

We ask you to be there before 8am, so we can get everyone ready and on the water. We will get off the water around noon and supply lunch so you can go home with a full belly after an enjoyable morning on the water.

Bring your spouse and your kids. Just let us know when you register for the event.

Our events are hosted on Eventbrite, so please click the provided link to sign up. If you have questions or need more information, please reach out here or through the Eventbrite contact link.

As always, if life happens and you cannot make the event after signing up for it, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Hope to see you there on Nov 15th.

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

For Heroes on the Water Ambassador and Deputy Chief of Police Michael Libertini, Freedom Found on the Water is a chance to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most.

Thank you, Mike, for sharing your perspective and for helping others discover the healing power of time on the water. Your voice is a reminder of why this mission matters.

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.

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.

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.
