Who We Are & What We Do
Simply put, we are sailors and we want to give back.
In our travels, we see so much opportunity to do more . . . for the planet and for the people we are meeting along the way. And we know there are other cruisers who want to do the same. Our mission is to create programs that connect cruisers with opportunities to help. We hope you'll join us in making a difference, one nautical mile at a time.
Research Data Collection
We're working to make it almost effortless for full-time sailors to collect data along their travel routes that can be shared with organizations doing environmental research.
Giving Back Locally
We're working to engage with local members of the communities we anchor beside to connect them to the cruising economy with more opportunities to sell their goods.
Ocean Conservation
To help protect our oceans and beaches, we're working to bring the sailing community in on clean-up efforts at the local level by partnering with larger organizations.
Supporting Ocean Research
Volunteering in Local Communities

How Can You Help?
DO YOU LIVE ON A BOAT FULL-TIME? Then you're in the right place, no matter where your travels might take you. If you're always on the move, we could use your help with data collection for the research programs we support. If you plan to be in one location for a while, we could really use your help with our local outreach programs, starting with the One Circle Guide to Cruising with Purpose. In either case, we hope you'll come on board!
DO YOU LIVE ONSHORE? We need your help, too. With One Circle, you can be confident that your donations are going right to the people and programs we support, without the overhead of larger organizations. We're small enough to make a big impact in the lives of the underserved communities for whom every day can be a struggle to put food on the table.
