Youth Adventure Voyage
Jump on board Australia’s largest sail training ship for a unique and unforgettable adventure!
Our seven-day Youth Adventure Voyages are designed for young people aged 14–25 and focus on leadership, confidence, and resilience in a supportive, hands-on environment. The STS Leeuwin II is a working ship and young trainees will be part of our crew. Whether climbing the rigging, navigating through teamwork, or learning to lead a watch, every moment on board pushes boundaries – building courage, connection, and capability.

About this voyage
Where Do We Go?
The Captain departs harbour and chooses the best sailing direction based on wind and weather conditions — making every voyage unique. Previous Youth Adventure destinations have included Albany, Busselton, Dampier and Exmouth. (Note: shore days are dependent on weather conditions.)
Family and friends can follow the ship’s journey live via the Live Tracker, below.
A Typical Day
This is a working ship — and you are part of the crew. During the voyage you will:
- Set and furl the sails
- Climb the masts and work aloft
- Stand watch during day and night sailing
- Learn teamwork, leadership and navigation skills
Weather conditions, watch rotations and ship positioning shape each day — there is never a dull moment.
On the final full day, trainees take charge. You will nominate a relief crew from within your teams and put your leadership and teamwork skills to the test as you help chart the ship’s course to a new anchorage.
Voyage Schedule 2026
The STS Leeuwin II will be heading on a series of voyages to the Mid West over the winter before returning to Fremantle. Submit your interest or contact us to find out more!
