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
16′ Lund boats, pontoons with wheelchair accessibility.
We offer several accessibility accommodations for our Vets on the fishing trips. Check out our
dations 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

Organizing outdoor events for Veterans can provide them with opportunities for camaraderie,
support and engagement with nature. Outdoor activities have been shown to have numerous
physical, mental and emotional benefits, making them especially valuable for Veterans who
may be dealing with the challenges of transitioning to civilian life or coping with service-related
issues.
By creating a space where veterans can come together and participate in various outdoor
activities, we’re not only fostering a sense of community but also promoting overall well-being.
Whether it’s organizing hikes, camping trips, fishing outings, hunting opportunities, team sports,
or other outdoor adventures, these events can provide Veterans with a sense of purpose,
connection, and a chance to build lasting friendships with fellow Veterans who understand their
experiences.
