Veterans on Deck (VoD) is a volunteer run organization. This means that all donations are applied directly to providing sailing experiences for active-duty military personnel or veterans. Our Mission is to provide therapeutic sailing for military personnel or veterans with emotional issues such as PTSD or Military Sexual Trauma (MST).

In the calendar year 2024, we sailed a record of 212 times. With a regular schedule of 1-3 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays (2 boats) and Fridays we average 4 sailboat outings per week. Every sail we fill out a log and the data shows that we provided 1,257 individual sailing experiences. On average the sailboats have 6 people aboard every sailboat outing.

Your support will help us to keep the boats in top condition so we can continue to provide sailing experiences. Social reintegration and resiliency training are most beneficial for those who serve or have served in the military.
