Saltwater Veterans
With humble beginnings in 2017, we embarked on our sailing journey as 'Four Men in a Boat,' a name that reflected our group of veterans navigating the waters of Sydney. As time passed and our mission grew, we evolved into the Saltwater Veterans in 2018. Our core vision remains steadfast: to cultivate a connected community of veterans and their families through engagement with water activities.
At Saltwater Veterans, we are driven by a deep sense of family and a commitment to serving our community. Our clothing brand represents the shared spirit and unity that fuels our pursuit of a common vision—to support individuals who, like us at some point in their lives, have sought assistance in re-engaging socially through the empowering and kinetic experience of sailing.
Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project
In September 2022, we reached an important milestone by officially establishing the SWV Ltd trading as Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project (SVSP) as an Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC) registered health promotion charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status and as a recognised Australian Sailing club.
This initiative serves as our enduring support to fellow veterans and their families by fostering meaningful engagement through sailing. SVSP has primary focus toward supporting our fellow Wounded, Injured & Sick (WIS) veterans.
We are incredibly grateful for the generous sponsorship provided by the esteemed team at Minter Ellison Lawyers, whose donated support has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.
Join the Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project in creating a lasting legacy for our veteran community. Together, we can build a fleet that empowers veterans, strengthens connections, and transforms lives.
Your support will ensure a future of camaraderie, skill-building, and meaningful engagement for those who have served our nation.

Help Us Commission a Dedicated Sail Training Vessel: A Flagship for Veterans
The Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project is proud to present a unique sponsorship opportunity to fund the commissioning of a dedicated Sail Training Vessel. This vessel will serve as a highly inclusive "flagship" for our veterans' sailing community, similar to the Navy'sYoung Endeavour and its associated Youth Training Cruises. It will also act as a powerful promotional platform for future sponsors, providing valuable visibility and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the vessel and its mission.
