Who We Are

Waves of Hope

FAMILIES & FRIENDS WORKING TOGETHER TO PREVENT BOATING AND OPEN WATER TRAGEDIES

We’re forever-changed families and friends impacted by boating and open water tragedies.

We are the “why” behind the “what” of boating and water safety. That one moment that changed our families forever could have been prevented. A life jacket. A propeller guard. An aware boat operator. An engine cut-off device.

We want to share our stories to educate others about boating and water safety, so our stories never become another family’s story. Read our stories.

PREVENTABLE DEATHS

In most cases, these are 100% preventable deaths.

The majority of drownings happen in open water. Nearly 650 people die each year during recreational boating activities. Get the facts.

ONE WAVE AT A TIME

We are committed to preventing boating and water tragedies so our stories don’t become your story. Find resources.
