Getting Women+ behind the helm, literally and proverbially
​
Who could this benefit?
This program and resources gained from it will not only benefit recreational maritime but commercial maritime.
Getting the term maritime into the living rooms and into the vernacular of people in our region is an problem, we may be part of the solution.
From careers in the maritime to a more representational leadership on the water empowering underrepresented communities could lead to the change we need in our maritime culture.
We cannot create pathways without giving the people the tools they need to to not only discover advocacy but be advocates for themselves...we will give them agency and say ‘yes you can’.
What are we doing that is unique?
We are amplifiers - we want to help guide people and organizations towards maritime in a way that will engage whichever part of them will find the most success.
We would like to connect current and future organizations and groups to one another and also help them diversify by offering tools and collaborations that can save them time and resources, this can in turn help keep their programming on track while we only help to enhance their efforts.

Empowering people who identify as female in our community by offering a maritime programs that serve as a unique platform for self-discovery and confidence building.
Our guests will not only create a relationship with the water but grow as waterpeople in a friendly inclusive environment. We will document and celebrate everyone's journey. We are each other's best teachers.

The cost to be a part of any of our time on the water or off the water is little to nothing.

If you identify as female, and/or are a part of the BIPOC / LGBTQ+ community you are encouraged

​
The most important thing is for us to not ‘exit stage right’ once we make these spaces available.
If the environment resonates with someone you have literally created an opportunity for them to make big changes in their lives, their family and community.
With a love of the water and with developing a relationship with it you can inevitably make a living there as well.
This is where we want to make sure that inclusionary pathways to the maritime world are not only made known but that the tools and resources are there as well. We should know our rights and learn to advocate not only for ourselves but for all.
​
Participation in water sports enhances self-esteem and a sense of achievement, granting us control over our abilities and nurturing leadership qualities that extend beyond sports. Our program is dedicated to promoting gender equality by challenging stereotypes and providing equal opportunities for women, men and non-binary thereby influencing their careers, personal growth, and leadership.
Our time on the water emphasizes environmental conservation, with participants becoming advocates for clean water and eco-friendly practices. This commitment not only fosters clean, strong, inclusive communities but also aligns with our mission to create positive ripples in our community.
