What an Incredible 2025 Season!

Our final trips of the year are complete, and another incredible season is officially in the books! A huge thank-you to our Corporate Sponsors (listed below), friends, family, and every other donor who helps make these trips possible. Truly—we could not do what we do without your financial support.

This year, we wrapped up with 24 boat trips and welcomed over 140 passengers, each one blessed with the opportunity to experience a joyful and peaceful day on the water.

One of the standout moments of 2025 was our first-ever wheelchair-accessible trip, where we welcomed nine families and 33 passengers for an unforgettable cruise. It was an absolute joy—and we’re already planning to bring this special trip back in 2026.

We also completed our first season partnering with the Ronald McDonald House, and it was a huge success. They have become an incredible addition to our Community Partner Program, and we are excited to offer even more boat trips to their families next season. We are now partnered with six local non-profits and are grateful for their partnerships in combining our programs and scheduling boat trips.

As we approach the end of the year, our focus now turns toward end-of-year giving and fundraising for 2026. If you feel led to support our mission and help fund future boat trips, we invite you to visit our website and explore the donation options available. Starting at just $10/month, there are multiple ways you can partner with us to bring joy, rest, and hope to children and families right here in our community.

Another powerful way to support us is simply sharing Cornerstone Charter with your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Our organization has grown organically season after season because people have shared the impact of this mission—and we are so grateful.

Thank you again to all who help make this mission a reality. I may be the hands and feet, but none of this happens without you.

God bless,
Jay

Ending the first week of school with a Friday night Sunset Cruise 👌

Thanks to Camp Rise Above for setting us up with the Duncan family!

Such a blessing to see the boys driving the boat and enjoying a fun evening on the water. One of them told me he wants to be a Captain when he gets older and build a lighthouse - go get it kid! 👊

You have to check out the last photo! A dolphin jumped out of the water right in front of us - so cool!

That quickly became the highlight of the trip today with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston crew. We had a great day on the water and loved seeing the smiles and laughter.

July in Charleston = boat rides, salty breezes, and mandatory stops at Red's Ice House for creekside lunch.

“Zay” from Beyond BASIC had us all laughing and kept the jokes flowing better than the tide.

Grateful for the opportunity to treat “Zay” and his family to some sunshine, silliness, and serious fun on the water!

Fun evening on the water with Dr Devin and Dr Liv from Lighthouse Family Chiropractic Mount Pleasant and one of the wonderful families they serve.

They do amazing work at their practice and we are so grateful for their support of our mission! As one of our Corporate Sponsors, they provide a handful of trips each season to children and families in need 🙌

Cheers to many more fun days on the water 🚤🌊☀️
