“FREEDOM ISN’T FREE, THANKING A VETERAN IS”
Veterans on the Water was started by Steve Gillaspie (Vietnam Veteran) of Arlington, MN in 2016. Our goal is to create a FREE fishing experience of excitement, fun and laughter for our Veterans.
All of our boats have been rebuilt specifically for Veterans on the Water with custom designs and features of red, white and blue! We own all our boats, which we use on our fishing trips. The fleet for Veterans on the Water includes 18ft to 20ft fishing boats and 20ft to 24ft pontoons with wheelchair accessibility.
We offer several accessibility accommodations for our Vets on the fishing trips. Check out our Donations page for details.
Veterans on the Waters has several single day fishing trips and some extended weekend fishing trips with no cost to Vets. Check out our Calendar page to get details on upcoming trips. To join one of our trips, please sign up on the Trip Sign Up page.
