Autism on the Water is a charity that aims to increase awareness of the autistic spectrum through sailing and boating and provide FREE opportunities on the water. It helps individuals on the autistic spectrum build their confidence by proving opportunities to take part in sailing activities as part of a team and undertaking technical operations. We provide boats and experienced sailors to take people out on the water where they can take part as far as they feel comfortable.
