Keep Us Afloat

$5,520 of $50,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in 3 days

We need your help to continue connecting people facing health and wellbeing challenges to the freedom, healing, and joy of the ocean.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Over the past month, Wish 4 Fish has had to cover $50,000 in urgent and unexpected maintenance to ensure our fully accessible vessel remains safe, compliant, and ready for our community. These essential costs, combined with a challenging economic environment, have completely depleted our operational reserves.

To continue operating, we urgently need to replenish this $50,000 of operational funding. Without immediate support from our community, we will be forced to pause all operations from 10 December 2025 and will be unable to deliver our usual season of trips.

About us

We help people with health and wellness challenges get out on the water and enjoy the freedom and pleasure of our ocean waters along with inspiring change in attitude to accessibility and inclusivity across our communities.

Use of funds

Funds raised support Wish 4 Fish’s essential operations, including fuel, bait, ice, berth leasing, insurance, management subscriptions, and staff wages to keep our vessel running and our mission afloat.
