About Kingdom Sail

At Kingdom Sail, our mission is to help young people grow a deeper relationship with Jesus, embrace a spirit of generosity through hands-on missions, and discover a God-given sense of purpose as they sail and serve in the Caribbean. We’re here to equip the next generation to become confident, compassionate leaders who carry the light of Christ wherever life takes them. 

Kingdom Sail isn’t just about learning to sail—it’s about anchoring young lives in Kingdom values that will guide them through every challenge. Here, teens embark on a life-changing adventure, learning to navigate the open seas and the deeper currents of faith, service, and friendship.
Imagine your teen setting out on an unforgettable journey through the stunning Caribbean, where they’ll not only master the art of sailing but also be deeply rooted in the truths of God’s Kingdom.

Inspiring teens to become all God has destined them to be

As a mom of three children and stepmom to two we have been entrusted with the responsibility to guide our children in their faith journey and help them grow into the men and women of God they are called to be. It is a journey of hope, love and at times uncertainty. We long for them to not only know God’s love but to experience it in transformative ways that will shape their lives forever.
As a keen sailor, and together with my husband Allen, leaders of a local church, we have dedicated ourselves to ministering to teenagers who feel lost, helping them find direction, hope, and identity, all while igniting their faith in Jesus. Kingdom Sail was born out of this mission to provide a fun, engaging environment where teens can grow their sailing skills and deepen their relationship with Jesus.
It’s about learning to navigate the waters while staying anchored in worship and discipleship. Our sailing adventures are designed to challenge and inspire teens to step out of their comfort zones, embrace new skills, and build a stronger connection with Jesus—all in an atmosphere of excitement and joy!

Our Kingdom Values

Jesus is our North Star

He is the ultimate guide in everything we do. We set our course by His example, teachings, and love, knowing that when we fix our eyes on Him, we navigate life’s waters confidently, secure in His guidance, and purposefully.

Faith & Honor

Rooted in Christ, we trust His plan through every storm and calm. Our faith anchors us, leading us to live boldly, knowing that His promises never fail, and our trust in Him remains unwavering. We honor God, each other, and those we serve. Treating every individual with dignity, respect, and love reflects the Kingdom culture, a culture that values people the way God values us, of which we are a part.

Generosity

Just as Jesus gave freely, we generously pour out our resources, time, and talents to bless others, fostering a culture of Kingdom-minded giving that impacts lives both in our camps and in the communities we serve, transforming lives and communities through our actions.

Community

Built on love and unity, we create a family where everyone belongs, and each member is valued and included. We seek deep connections, both among our crew and the communities we engage with, supporting and encouraging one another in Christ.

Leadership

We believe in raising leaders who reflect God’s heart. Our mission is to empower individuals to lead with humility, integrity, and compassion, guiding others through Christ-centred influence, which is the influence that reflects the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

Adventure and Exploration

Life with Jesus is an adventure! We embrace the unknown with faith and courage, knowing that every challenge is an opportunity to grow and trust God more deeply.

Service & Stewardship

Following the example of Christ, we live to serve. Through our missional work, we significantly impact the local communities, showing God’s love through acts of kindness, service, and selflessness. This is a source of pride and inspiration for us all. We are entrusted with God’s creation, resources, and opportunities. We manage them with care and gratitude, ensuring that every decision we make honours the Lord and blesses those around us. This sense of responsibility and commitment guides our every action.

Kingdom Generosity

At Kingdom Sail, Generosity is at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about fighting human trafficking, breaking the chains of addiction, and partnering with remarkable non-profits working on the front lines to bring freedom and restoration to those in need. We donate 10% for every booking to support these life-changing initiatives close to our hearts.

Emwomen empowers women to overcome challenges and achieve their God-given purpose. Dedicated to helping women of all backgrounds, Emwomen offers resources, training, and mentorship to inspire spiritual, personal, and professional growth. Through faith-based teachings and a supportive community.

Olive Crest

Olive Crest Hope Refuge in Santa Barbara transforms the lives of vulnerable children and families through a strong foundation of care, education, and support. With a focus on preventing child abuse, preserving families, and ensuring every child finds a safe, loving home.

Hope Centre Ministries supports men and women battling addictions and life-controlling issues. The recovery homes help people from all walks of life find freedom from addictions, hurts, and hang-ups. They offer a breakthrough model called True Freedom, assisting residents to address the root causes of addiction.

Our desire is for your teen to return home with so much more than just new sailing skills.

We want this experience to become a defining moment—a renewed sense of purpose, a deepened faith, and unforgettable memories of witnessing God’s beauty in creation and His love at work in the lives of others. At Kingdom Sail, every experience brings young people closer to Christ and gives them a foundation to carry through life’s challenges.
Imagine your teen coming home with strengthened confidence, ready to lead, and equipped with the skills to navigate the open seas and life’s waves. They’ll have the unique opportunity to grow alongside other young believers who share their passion for Jesus, build genuine friendships rooted in faith, service, and adventure, and want to return as part of our team.
We aim to inspire a love for sailing and a heart for service, encouraging young people to reflect God’s generosity in everything they do. Our mission is to guide them in embracing their God-given identity and seeing themselves as leaders who can make a difference.

At the end of this journey, your teen will return with memories far beyond the sea—an experience rich with discovery, lifelong friendships, and a Kingdom-driven purpose that will shape who they are and their impact on the world.

Serving Local Communities and Growing the Kingdom Together

At Kingdom Sail, we are committed to enabling the communities we serve to thrive and grow in the Kingdom. Partnering with local churches and community organizations, we engage in missions that reflect God’s love and compassion in practical, impactful ways. Whether providing meals for the hungry, helping run kids’ camps, or supporting local events, our goal is to bless the places we visit, leaving each community with a renewed sense of purpose and vision to expand the Kingdom.
This service is meaningful and counts towards community service hours for college applications. It allows each participant to make a real difference while building a record of service and leadership.
If you’d like to support our local missions, know that every donation goes directly to the communities we partner with, empowering them to continue the work long after we leave. Additionally, you can raise funds towards the missions you’ll be involved in during the trip, inviting friends, family, and others to contribute to the impact we’re making. This journey isn’t just for those on board—it’s an opportunity for others to become part of the story, investing in lasting change and Kingdom growth.
