The Sailing Heritage Society
Brightening the Lives of Ill Children
with Sailing Trips on the Healing Seas
The Sailing Heritage Society provides diverse services to our community while focusing on individuals with serious medical conditions. Through a coordinated program, we conduct shipboard crew training while providing therapeutic trips for those in need. Guests join us for cruises on Lake Union and Lake Washington free of charge, and our volunteers provide refreshments, good cheer, and even the chance to help sail a 65 ft schooner!
Since 2002 SHS has:- Provided over 325 non-profit trips
- Hosted over 4400 guests
- Been supported by 8000 volunteer hours
- Created over 500 "Captain's Certificates"
Patients, caregivers and families from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Starlight Children's Foundation, and many more groups have joined our Seattle morning sailboat cruises since 1995. Sailing trips on Lake Union or Lake Washington, in the heart of Seattle, help alleviate stress that affects the entire family when a member becomes seriously ill.

All ship's guests recieve an Honorary Captain Certificate with a polaroid photo of them at the wheel, signed by the Captain and crew.
