Virtual Voyage for Veterans 2025

Changing Veterans, One Sail at Time. Step aboard a journey of hope and restoration as VetsBoats hosts its annual online auction, inviting you to help transform the lives of veterans who have sacrificed so much. With every bid, you shine a light on their path to healing, camaraderie, and renewed purpose—proving that together, a caring community can lift spirits and create lasting change for those who have served.

VetsBoats is an all-volunter non-profit organization dedicated to restoring health and well-being to military veterans suffering from PTSD and traumatic injuries through the transformative power of sailing. Our purpose is to inspire and motivate veterans to move from isolation into active participation and community.

VetsBoats promotes well-being and community for veterans and their families through therapeutic sailing, leveraging a scalable, nationwide network of local chapters, partner organizations, and community volunteers.

Through our programs, we create an environment where veterans can rediscover their inner strengths and experience the camaraderie of fellow service members. This shared purpose and teamwork are fundamental to our approach, fostering healing and personal growth.

At the heart of our work is the belief in the therapeutic benefits of sailing and maritime activities. We offer three core programs, each designed to promote teamwork, community healing, and mindfulness.

Our approach is supported by Veterans Administration studies, which have shown that sailing activities, when combined with professional therapeutic treatment, significantly enhance positive outcomes for participants.

VetsBoats is more than just a sailing organization; we are leading a grassroots effort to address the silent crisis of addiction and suicide among veterans by raising awareness, providing hope, and building resilient communities. We are more than just a sailing organization—it is a movement that uses the magic of sailing to provide veterans with recovery, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.
