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 a significant milestone with the establishment of SWV Ltd — trading as the Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project (SVSP) — as a registered health promotion charity with the ACNC, complete with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. In 2023, we proudly became an affiliated club of Australian Sailing.
In 2025, our work was recognised on the national stage when SVSP received an Australian Sailing Award, acknowledging the impact our program continues to make across both the veteran and sailing communities.
This achievement reflects our enduring commitment to providing meaningful connection and purpose through sailing for veterans and their families, with a particular focus on supporting Wounded, Injured, and Sick (WIS) veterans.
We remain deeply grateful to MinterEllison Lawyers for their generous pro bono support in helping bring this vision to life.
