Captain Sandy's Charities

Welcome to Captain Sandy's Charities  Maritime Workforce Opportunities Program Channel. The maritime industry faces a workforce crisis- from shipyards to superyachts because young people don't see clear pathways into these well-paid careers. Beyond the Docks is here to change that.

Led by Captain Sandy Yawn, this channel connects students, career explorers, and working adults to real maritime careers, real people, and real pathways into Florida's $14.6B blue economy.

Each episode covers one of 6 career pathway modules:
⚙️ STEM on Superyachts
🚢 Global Maritime Careers
⚓ Crew & Operations
💼 Business Careers in Maritime
🌊 Blue-Economy Science
🎓 Training, Career Pathways & Companies

Our accredited K–12 curriculum Steering Toward Success plus Ocean Rangers for elementary students  is in classrooms across Florida, building ocean literacy, STEM skills, and maritime career awareness.

Built for students, educators, and career changers.
