A Relief Sail costs $75-150 depending on the boat we take out. That money goes to cover all the actual costs - insurance, utilities, boat, maintenance, lodging, food . . . all the little details that make the magic happen for participants.

After hosting sails for ten years we have got these stats dialed in tight. From how much food we need each day, to managing the weather that allows for learning and community, and lots of fun, we have figured out how to be efficient and generous with our time and resources.

We want to invite you to be a part of this work.

Would you consider sponsoring a sail?

Wooden Boats for Veterans (WBFV) was founded in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit private operating foundation by service-disabled military veterans and operates in the San Francisco Bay Area, with affiliate participating in our mission across the United States.

Our aim is to help families of veterans and future veterans re-engage in a completely new environment. For most, sailing will be a new experience and family members will have to work together to become a great crew. The yacht will be skippered by an experienced captain so you can take part in as much or as little sailing as you like. You will explore different locations such as Angel Island and enjoy a lunch aboard.

We Appreciate Your Support!

Wooden Boats for Veterans (EIN 46-4194065) is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organzation.
