The Sailor’s Home addresses the board and lodging needs of transient member seafarers who are due to depart or have completed contracts abroad and whose residences are outside of Metro Manila. The union provides for the free use of the facility to all members in good standing.

The Sailor’s Home is a 330-bed dormitory now with first-class facilities catering to embarking and disembarking members. Bed and breakfast are free to all members. This benefit scheme provided by the union started in 1972.

Since then, the Sailor’s Home has moved to three locations. In 1994, because of growing demand, a new building was completed solely for dormitory use.

In 2003, still because of growing demand, the union completed construction and inaugurated another Sailor’s Home in Cebu, located in the compound of the existing Seamen’s Hospital in Madaue City. The building also houses a small Slop Chest.

The Sailor’s Home in Manila is right across the Seamen’s Center. It has separate quarters for officers and ratings as well as for female seafarers. Members may use the facility for a continuous period of fifteen (15) days and may be extended for the same number of days. The dormitory has a spacious lounging area, an audio-visual room and a game/multi-purpose hall.
