Our Vision
What do we want to achieve with BoatVet
At BoatVet, we’re dedicated to delivering free veterinary care wherever it’s needed most. Whether it’s administering life-saving rabies vaccinations, providing parasite treatments, running neutering campaigns, or treating diseases, wounds, and injuries, we’re on a mission to help animals in even the most remote corners of the world.
Equipped with essential veterinary supplies, we will carry the tools and medications necessary to provide vital care wherever we sail. As we continue to grow, we are seeking the support of generous sponsors and supporters to help us expand our capacity, enabling us to carry even more equipment and medications to assist in our work.

Stage 1: Saving and Funding for Boat ✔
COMPLETE! Boat found and purchased!
Stage 2: Boat Preparation and Renovation
Major boat works complete - awaiting new navigation system, safety equipment checks, fridge needs repairing, water maker needs fitting
Stage 3: Building Partnerships with Veterinary Professionals - on going!
We are in the process of speaking with multiple different organisations from wildlife charities and rescue centres, to street cat and stray dog rescues. Please see my 15/02/2026 blog for up to date details!
Stage 4: Launching and Testing Operations, secure funding for first 6 months operation
We are launching our boat at the end of March 2026, and will be heading down to the Mediterranean at the end of April. We have limited supplies and equipment on board, and we will learn as we go as to what we need and what is helpful.
Stage 5: Community Engagement and Awareness
Raise awareness about the charities, organisations we work with and their missions. We will include the plights of local wild species and conservation efforts where possible.
Organise community outreach programs, such as free pet check-ups. We want to work with local vets and organisations.
Use social media and online platforms to share success stories and updates.
Stage 6: Expanding Services and Outreach
Introduce additional services (e.g, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, health education).
Continue fundraising to maintain and expand operations.
Our Mission
From rural islands to distant coastlines, we have the privilege of offering medical treatment in some of the most stunning, yet underserved, locations.
Our work doesn’t stop at just treatment – we’re building strong partnerships with existing animal charities, collaborating to amplify their efforts, and extending support in every way we can. Through our social media channels, we aim to spread awareness and share the incredible work of these organisations, bringing their vital messages to a global audience.
With BoatVet, we're not just providing care; we're creating lasting impact, one animal at a time.
