The Mission
Every Purchase Gives Back
15% of net profits from every order goes where it matters most — to the Seakeeper's Foundation, supporting the marine scientists doing the work I trained for but now do from a different deck, or to the Cruiser Emergency Fund, a dedicated reserve for sailors in crisis. You choose at checkout. We give every time.
Seakeeper's Foundation
Funding the marine scientists protecting the ocean — rigorous, evidence-based conservation research.
Cruiser Emergency Fund
A dedicated reserve for cruising sailors facing emergencies at sea or abroad. Held separately — never used for personal cruising.
The Cruiser Emergency Fund is completely separate from any personal cruising fund. Every dollar goes to sailors in need.
