8th Annual Cross the Line Paddle for Veterans

Come join us for our 8th Annual Cross the Line Paddle for Veterans on Saturday June 13, 2026. Challenge yourself to kayak the 7 miles from historic St. Mary’s, Georgia to the DD Bartles Boat ramp in Fernandina Beach, Florida (note the change in the finish line).

This year proceeds from the paddle will go to support Building Battle Buddies,  a newly established Veteran 501C3 from Nassau County which trains and provides service dogs for Veterans throughout Florida and Georgia.

To register for this year’s paddle, go to www.paddleguru.com and select Cross the Line Paddle for Veterans 2026. Remember the first 100 to register get a free ride to the start line on the Amelia River Cruise boats. Kayaks can be rented and delivered directly to the start line through Amelia Island Kayak Excursions or through other kayak companies in Nassau County.

Registration will close on June 10th.   Shirts will NOT be available for anyone registering after June 2, 2026.
