Hope on a Boat was created 4 years ago while three friends were on a fishing trip with Fairhope Charters. The thought was to get those with “special needs” out on Mobile Bay for a day of fishing and fun. Some of these participants have never had the opportunity to do so and that’s why we created this awesome event. A chance for those to enjoy this beautiful Bay we have in our backyards while being guided by a professional guide to do a little fishing and hopefully catch some fish they never have before. Hope on a Boat is scheduled for September 12th of this year and we are getting an early start due to the fact that this will be our biggest event yet. We are planning on 25 fishermen this year, which will be a record. We have outgrown the walls and canals of Fairhope Charters and will be having this years event at the Weeks Bay Boat launch and events center. It should be easier for everyone involved and participating. We continue to make this event happen on 100% donations and take pride in doing so. This event is such a wonderful, heartwarming and touching event that we really hope everyone won’t hesitate to support. As is usually the case the life jackets are the most costly of our items. We are going to use a belt system, self inflating, coast guard approved system this year that should be more comfortable. We have created an Amazon Registry that you can find at the link below. Many in the past have used their Amazon points, which most of us have a ton of, to purchase items. All items will ship directly to us. Put your name in the gift notes so we know who has graciously sent us what’s needed. We cannot have this event or make it the success we have, without generous individuals like ourselves. If you know anyone that you think would like to support us please, feel free to send info to them including the fishing community, local friend, family and loved ones. If you know any younger people with special needs that may want to attend, please let us know at anytime. If you have any questions, DM us at our page (Hope on a Boat). Amazon registry is below. We are really looking forward to this years event. Thanks y’all!Hope on a Boat Registry
