Coming alongside the Maritime Community with Friendship, Faith, and Hospitality

A partnership of denominations, congregations, and individuals dedicated to sharing compassion and support to seafarers throughout New England in the name of Christ.

The ports of New England are visited daily by vessels carrying cargo vital to our economy and way of life. Crews from more than one hundred countries work aboard the oil tankers, container ships, and salt ships.

Away from home for months at a time, these men and women welcome staff and volunteers of Seafarer’s Friend bringing a ministry of care and compassion. This is a ministry of hospitality, in the name of Christ and His Church.

Seafarer's Friend supports the seafaring community in Boston, MA, Portsmouth, NH and Portland, ME.
