About our Sails
Sailing Heals provides a restorative, inspiriting sailing experience for patients and caregivers navigating cancer. Invited caregivers can be a friend, family member, healthcare professional, or personal assistant.
Our schooner sails can accommodate 25 to 30 participants per sail. We may be able to accommodate an additional family member if space allows.
If you are a patient navigating a serious illness other than cancer, please contact us at info@sailingheals.org to discuss eligibility.
2023 Sailing Heals Sail Schedule
Sailing Heals is excited to announce its 2023 schooner sail schedule. We will update this with additional locations, schooners, and special sail events as they are confirmed. All scheduled sails require registration. Please email us with your interest and desired sail date to reserve a place for you and a guest/caregiver. If you are unable to make a scheduled sail, we may be able to match you with a local volunteer host captain for a 1-1 restorative sail. Please reach out with your interest.
