The Calm seas Foundation is dedicated to providing experiential ocean therapy for first responders. We connect Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT's with sailing voyages that facilitate healing, mindfulness, and rejuvenation in natures embrace.
The calm seas story
Captain Erik Smith, Founder
Calm seas foundation was created by Captain Erik Smith, who served for 30 years as a first responder. Captain Smith is a professional sailor and Merchant Marine Captain. During his own journey of healing and recovery he found a new understanding of connection and gratitude in the sea. Years ago he began sharing this experience with other Police Officers and Firefighters in recovery, with deeply positive results. As mariners say... "calm seas never made a competent sailor". We believe that it is possible, through transformative experience, that the hardships of public service can become your greatest blessing.
