At Mocean, we are American through and through. Our founder is a former Marine and a patriot: someone who loves, defends and supports his country. Here, he’s showing his “stripes” by providing the market with a truly Made in America produced outrigger.
What’s more, his goal with Mocean is to provide full access to canoeing to a previously unserved market. In the past, owning a canoe was primarily for the more affluent. Because of cost and design, buying an outrigger through Mocean—and a high-quality one at that—is far less expensive than ever before. And maintaining it is far easier and more affordable.
We strive to be the embodiment of patriotism. You could say our blood runs red, white and blue! Our canoes are made in America and built by Americans. We build relationships with and seek to serve veteran organizations and communities. It’s one of the things that makes our company unique—and that gives us pride.

"post-9/11 combat veterans have a new critical mission: finding their purpose in civilian life. Warriors & Quiet Waters guides veterans and their loved ones to thrive and find peace, meaning, and purpose through fly fishing and other inspirational activities in nature."
How Mocean helps veterans
"BUILD TRUST
We bring Warriors to our ranch in southwestern Montana, providing a safe, secure environment – created by our volunteers, guides, and other veterans – that feels like home. Here, Warriors find space to make meaning of their service and discover what a purposeful life means to them.
TEACH NEW SKILLS
Warriors and their loved ones learn fulfilling new skills like fly fishing, archery elk hunting, and backcountry skills so they can tap into the healing benefits of these activities for life. They gain the life skill of finding clarity and solitude in nature, learning to relax, and building resiliency to sustain them through challenging times.
CREATE COMMUNITY
We foster the kind of community that becomes a family. Warriors make lifelong connections with people they walk alongside as they work toward their newfound purpose.
HELP WARRIORS THRIVE LONG-TERM
A Warrior’s journey is never over. Our progressive programs encourage Warriors and their loved ones to grow beyond the trauma of war, realize their potential, and chart a path toward a thriving, resilient life."
