We are incredibly grateful to all our yacht owners whose commitment to our tournament is truly unmatched. From donating the use of your yacht, to supplying crews, fuel, tackle, food, and time—your generosity enables us to support more Veterans.

In our inaugural year, we launched with a fleet of 12 yachts. This year, we will launch with a fleet of 50. This growth is directly thanks to the SoCal fishing community’s immense support. Our tournament is making a profound difference, and the need continues to grow. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can participate—or donate your vessel—please let us know.

No one knows the rush of adrenaline when a fish takes your bait and the reel starts screaming better than you.

We are always looking for sportfishing experts and crew members who are willing to help our Veterans experience for themselves what we know to be true about the healing properties of our Southern California waters. Your expertise and your knowledge of the waters, the native fish species, and the techniques used to catch our local fish are part of what makes the WHOW tournament unparalleled.

We are incredibly grateful for the dedicated and hard-working crew members and skilled captains who have joined the WHOW family and bonded with our Veterans, sharing their joy of the sea and the thrill of the catch.

The War Heroes on Water tournament was created for you. Our goal is simple: to help you connect with fellow brothers and sisters in arms and to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience of the breathtaking waters off the Southern California coast.
