Help Us Welcome Every Seafarer Who Visits Our Port

Rest, connection, and friendship for the men and women who keep global trade moving, regardless of nationality, faith, or background.
A Message from Our Founder
Every seafarer who walks through our doors deserves warmth, welcome, and a place that feels like home while they’re far from theirs.

Our Mission

Providing Hospitality & Assistance to Every Crew That Visits Our Port

Point Comfort Seafarers Center exists to provide hospitality and assistance to the crews who visit our port. We share genuine friendship with every seafarer, honoring their personal values and beliefs along the way.
We became a registered 501(c)(3) in 2021 and continue to expand what we can offer: connectivity, comfort items, pastoral care, and simply a friendly face in a foreign port.

Ship Visits

Our volunteers go aboard visiting vessels to welcome crews, answer questions about our local area, and let them know help is close by.

Hospitality Center

Free Wi-Fi, books, magazines, billiards, and a quiet place to relax. The self-service area is open 24/7.

Pastoral Care

Catholic Mass and quiet spiritual support are available for seafarers of all faiths and backgrounds. Contact us to arrange for a mass onboard the vessel if timing allows.
Our Difference

What Makes Our Center Important to Visiting Crews

We’re volunteer-run and community-supported. Every dollar and every visit goes directly toward making Point Comfort a port where seafarers feel genuinely welcome.

A Home Away From Home

Comfortable spaces where crews can relax between shifts.

For Seafarers

Support That Travels With You

Beyond our doors, we point every crew member to Tied2Shore and Happy At Sea, two free apps built specifically for life at sea, so help is never more than a tap away, in any port.

Tied2Shore App

Get the Tied2Shore app before you’re back at sea, so every resource on this page travels with you, offline.

Happy At Sea App

Get Happy At Sea for port welfare info and wellbeing support from The Mission to Seafarers, wherever you are in the world.

How You Can Help

The Needs We're Focused on Meeting for Every Visiting Crew

Seafarers can spend months at sea, cut off from family and familiar comforts. Your support helps us close that gap the moment they step onto our dock.

Isolation at Sea

Months away from family with limited contact home.

Connectivity

Free Wi-Fi to reach loved ones.

Everyday Comforts

Toiletries, snacks, and small comforts for the journey.

Spiritual Support

A quiet space and pastoral care for those who seek it.
