The Sail Away Flotilla is an annual Galveston Campus tradition to wish cadets fair winds and following seas as they embark on their summer sea term. Join friends, loved ones, industry supporters and former students on Sunday, May 18 at 10:00 AM to escort cadets, faculty and crew aboard the TS Kennedy through the Galveston Ship Channel.

Please keep in mind, all maritime operations are fluid and subject to change with little notice so plan to be flexible. The departure date and time may vary based on a variety of conditions beyond the control of the academy. We will provide notice on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to communicate any changes in date, location or time. No RSVP is required. 

Launching, recovering and docking at the Galveston Campus Dock is strictly prohibited.
