WELCOME TO THE POWER OF SAILING
"The therapy is real. Since my sailing experience, I feel like I have a renewed sense of self and have been making small gains when I otherwise struggled. Healing hearts, reducing trauma trapped in the body, awakening souls, conquering fear, building confidence, the magic of sailing has so many benefits. Working as a crew member to be part of a team, having a solid captain and crew you trust and rely on for help or direction. Getting in touch with nature and yourself as it forces you to be present and connect with yourself. All building self-worth and confidence. A lot of things were experienced on the boat that we otherwise don’t get to experience very often in our day-to-day lives. The compassion for each other and the excitement it brought was unlike anything I’ve experienced. I’m happy to see this dream come alive and stoked for those who will get to experience it."

SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS

SENDIT Foundation
We have a three year history with taking cancer survivors sailing with the SENDit foundation!
​
"Alex and Brady are AMAZING. They helped us host a group of 6 young adult cancer patients out on Lake Tahoe. They are incredibly accommodating and made our group feel at ease and excited to get out on the lake. I could not recommend them more!!" -Caroline Schou, Founder

SOS Outreach Mentorship
In 2024 we partnered with the SOS outreach program to get local teenagers out sailing who despite having grown up in neighborhoods adjacent to Lake, had never once been on out the water! We believe this disconnect leads to a lack of education about protecting our most valuable natural resource. We aim to promote stewardship of the lake to up and coming generations.

High Fives Foundation
We were able to take several injured athletes sailing out on Lake Tahoe, despite that accessibility to the sport of sailing can be quite difficult.
​
It was amazing to see world class athletes get to relax and enjoy the Lake in a way that they might not have otherwise had to opportunity to see, all the while healing through sharing their experience of injury and trauma.

Cruisers Academy Sailing Scholarships
Over the past five years, we have offered several sailing scholarships and aim to grow this program more...​
"Sailing is about so much more then hoisting the sails or steering the boat. It challenges you in the exact way you didn't know you needed, connects you with lifelong friends, and makes you appreciate nature on a whole new level."
