Providing Practical Care and Spiritual Support
Seafarers’ House was founded in 1989. Today, we host nearly 150,000 crew visits each year, more than any other agency in North America, and provide visiting mariners with practical care and spiritual support. Our 4,200-square-foot facility offers mariners a chapel, access to chaplains, free Wi-Fi to connect with loved ones at home, wire transfer services, an international convenience store, and a place to relax. We are proud to be a multi-faith organization. Our pastoral care team represents faiths from around the world. We are proud to serve the international seafaring community, doing our part to improve their quality of life, serve their needs, and tell their story.
