Heal. Support. Empower.



Project Healing Tides Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization proudly serving the Hampton Roads community. Our mission is to provide meaningful, healing experiences on the water for veterans, individuals with disabilities, children facing challenges, and their families.
Our captain is a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed 50-Ton Master Captain, a local Sea Tow captain, and a substitute teacher within our local school division. As a retired United States Marine, he understands the unique experiences and challenges faced by our military community and veterans. He also brings extensive experience working with children and adults with special needs, creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all participants.
At Project Healing Tides Foundation, we believe that time on the water can promote healing, build confidence, create lasting memories, and provide a sense of peace and connection. Through our programs, we strive to make these opportunities accessible to those who can benefit from them most.

Life can present challenges that affect individuals and families in ways that are often difficult to overcome alone. Veterans, children with disabilities, individuals facing serious illnesses, and their caregivers frequently experience physical, emotional, and mental stress. Project Healing Tides Foundation exists to provide an opportunity for respite, healing, and connection through meaningful experiences on the water.
The therapeutic benefits of being outdoors, spending time on the water, and participating in recreational fishing have been shown to reduce stress, improve mental well-being, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. For many of our participants, a day on the water offers more than just recreation—it provides hope, encouragement, and a chance to create lasting memories with loved ones.
By removing financial barriers and offering these experiences at no cost to eligible participants, Project Healing Tides Foundation ensures that healing opportunities are accessible to those who need them most. Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves moments of peace, joy, and connection, and that the simple act of getting on the water can make a lasting impact on a person's life.
Through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners, we are able to turn meaningful experiences into powerful moments of healing, one trip at a time.
