About Us

who we are

Warriors on the Water USA, Inc. is an official 501(c)(3) veteran, non-profit organization based in Sarasota, Florida.

Our primary focus is to facilitate and fund a positive outlet through our fishing charters for veterans and military service members that experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD related issues as a result of their military service. Whether it originates from direct combat operations or other related traumas associated with the job, there are a myriad of variations to the complexities that veterans face after their service is complete.

Many experience an extreme sense of loss and isolation from being so completely detached from something that has had such a far reaching effect on their lives. The purpose and shared hardships that have developed tight bonds amongst them are no longer present. We offer them a chance to meet other veterans from all branches and occupations to network and team build with a sense of camaraderie.

The Ultimate Goal

Due to the alarming veteran suicide rate, we hope to make an impact on preventing that through natural remedies on the ocean and within nature. We offer them opportunities to view their struggles through an alternate perspective. We cannot change the things that happen to us, but we can change how we react to them.

It is fundamental that every veteran takes personal responsibility for the rest of their lives. This is the opportunity to engage that process. Every applicant will undergo a vetting process by providing a DD-214 as proof of honorable service to ensure that funds are properly allocated to those that qualify.

Warriors on the Water USA, Inc. is committed to ensuring a positive environment coupled with an amazing experience that will have an everlasting impact on the veteran. And we can guarantee that you will catch some fish!
