Dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of the yachting industry – crew, captains and shore side support.

Navigating the high seas and managing the demands of life on a yacht can be challenging, and no one should face these challenges alone.The mission of Yachtie Minds Matter™ is to provide essential funding for therapy and mental health resources, ensuring that those who work tirelessly in the yachting industry have access to the support they need.

With therapy sessions running an average of $80-$200 per hour, Yachtie Minds Matter™ looks to offer the financial resources to help individuals in yachting enter into therapy and receive the support and resources they need, but we can not do it alone. We need the support of corporate sponsors and individual donors alike to make this mission a reality.

Any donation is absolutely welcomed and appreciated, however we are asking our founding corporate sponsors for a minimum donation of $10,000.00 in sponsorship during the launch, and a minimum of $25,000 to become one of the Founding Sponsors. If you would like to pledge $100,000.00 USD+, you will be listed as a Harbor of Hope Benefactor and there are numerous benefits.

who we are

About Us

Yachtie Minds Matter™ was established in 2024 by Captain Kelly J. Gordon, in response to her first-hand experiences with the mental health issues that persist in the yachting industry. Her advocacy on this issue led to an enthusiastic social media community, world wide speaking engagements, and the ability to create this non-profit organization that will provide access to healing and support for yachties both on-and-off shore.
