Providing Charters To Support Ocean Conservation
Henry's Charters is committed to Ocean Conservation, and supports Veterans by providing healing experiences on the ocean while fishing.
Ocean Conservation
With our staff and fleet of boats, we are able to rescue injured sea turtles, dolphins and other marine life. We work in conjunction with organizations and rehabilitation facilities to achieve the same goal.
We connect veterans through fishing outreach programs to build strength of character. Our essential task is to prevent veteran suicide.
We are able to provide healing experiences on the ocean while fishing for offshore and inshore game fish. We believe salt water therapy is the best medicine for healing.
Through Henry’s Charters unique partnership with veteran support programs, we are able to provide veterans with ways to work through PTSD, and to connect in a safe space. Each month we provide dedicated dates to take selected veterans fishing.
