Providing A Unique Sailing Experience For Children And Adults With Special Needs
Home
The Sailing Angels Foundation offers free sailing excursions on a daily basis for education, respite and recreational therapy. Originally serving individuals with cognitive challenges, physical challenges and life threatening illnesses, we have since expanded our reach to include those suffering from severe traumatic experiences and socially challenged children. These guests include “at risk” children, military veterans, first responders, families of the incarcerated, bereaved families and those recovering from domestic violence. Families and caretakers are always welcome on these trips. Our mission is to bring peace, healing and happiness to the individual and their families. The program is often transformational to the individuals and their families. We create priceless memories, one sail at a time!
The Sailing Angels Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, based in the Greater Houston area.

WELCOME Brookside Intermediate! What an awesome day we enjoyed, cruising on Galveston Bay, with this great group of youth, teacher & staff, plus parents. We hosted them on 3 boats and put those children to work. Kudos to Lesli for her Leadership, and perseverance in making this opportunity become reality. On the Blue Marlin III, we enjoyed "Ms. B", Richard and Dominik. All took turns as captain, working at the helm and keeping us on course... and an excellent job they did! We thank them for their help. Everyone on Captain Frank and Captain John’s boats also had a great time learning to steer the boat around the bay. Many thanks to our captains John, Frank & Dave, and our super crew: Cyndi, Donna & Mike. What a fantastic day! ... See MoreSee Less
