As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, our USCG Licensed Captains and experienced crew members work side by side with the recreational therapists and nurses from the James A. Haley VA Hospital (Tampa, FL) ranked as one of the best, most efficient, and busiest VA hospitals in the nation in the area of rehabilitation.

Many of the vets have suffered physical wounds while others suffer psychological wounds.  Our recreational opportunities are tailored to the veteran's physical abilities.  We take pride in having the distinction of being the "only" organization that can take the "in-patients" on outings involving fishing, sailing, and other recreational water sports. Freedom Excursions pays for all costs for the veterans and therapists for these events.

In addition,  if  you have ever served in the Armed Forces, and have been honorably discharged, or are still serving, we honor you.  We also understand first hand the sacrifices your families make.  Our mission is simple: To provide a fun and educational "Day on the Bay" for those  who know the stress of military life; encourage and inspire them to recuperate, reintegrate, and rekindle relationships.

We replace stress with smiles.
