Watersports activities expanded to veterans
Shake a Leg Miami has expanded its water sports programming for disabled veterans and their families through a grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In its sailing and fishing programs, Shake a Leg Miami uses a fleet of handicapped-accessible boats, including the 60-foot catamaran Impossible Dream and The Pilar, a replica of Ernest Hemingway’s beloved fishing boat.

All programs are offered free of charge to veterans and their families.
