We donate 10% of all of our revenues (not just a portion of profits) to several local non-profits.  While this may be a bad business idea (particularly in a down economy) it sure makes us feel good to be helping our community.

Why do we donate so much to non-profits?  

Why not.  It makes us feel good about the sailing charters and allows us to support our community.

 

Can the passengers select where the donations go? 

Sure, let us know which non-profit you would like to support.  We have supported bike-a-thons and marathons in 2010.
