Launching Biblically - Trained Mariners

The opportunity to bring change through the hope and healing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is on our shoreline. Sailboats laden with Christian mariners have the ability and the desire to reach the difficult places and transform the lives of the least, the lost, the lonely, and the left behind. YWAM Ships Corpus Christi continues to extend the spokes for the international HUB to the Nations to do just that.

We partner with like-minded YWAM bases and other ministries to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ Shore to Shore. Our current ministry partners include YWAM Ships Kona and the Flotilla Initiative, YWAM Rancho Abierto near Ensenada Mexico, Sea and Summit Ministries from YWAM Bishop, and the Making Way Maritime academy from Wales, UK.
Together with our partners, we use ocean-going vessels to reach the most isolated places in the world. Crossing the Liquid Frontiers, we train, equip, and release men and women of God to go and make disciples of all nations.

Come set sail on a 12-week journey of faith, seamanship, and discipleship here in the Coastal Bend of Texas.
During the SONS course, you will join in with our community worship, outreach, prayer, and days of sailing!
Check out our local partnership vessels here.

This 12-week course pairs the Royal Yachting Association's Day Skipper curriculum with further discipleship through the UofN for those who desire to progress to a ships officer. Training is offered, not only with UofN standards, but also with the standards set by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA).

This course will lead to RYA Day Skipper theory examinations and cover the theory needed to gain a RYA Day Skipper certificate.
