Call of the Sea is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit with the mission of enabling inclusive and equitable access to on the water science-based educational programs that foster the connection to watersheds, ocean environments & nautical heritage.
Our floating classrooms include the volunteer-built 132' brigantine Matthew Turner and the lovely 82' schooner, Seaward. Our goal is to offer the benefits of connecting with the sea and sailing to all people, with a special focus on empowering youth of all backgrounds. We offer school field trips and summer camps and 40% of the youth who sail with us do so through scholarships. Our programs range from three hours to two weeks long, primarily taking place on San Francisco Bay, but occasionally ranging as far as Baja Mexico. We aim to connect students throughout the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay area with environmental education while at sail.
