Our 2026 Sailing Schedule is coming soon.

Find Adventure. Find You

Voyages are a great way to get active, try something different, meet new friends and develop skills for your future.

Prepare to be challenged and discover your strengths and talents while building your self-confidence. Take on personal responsibility and work as part of a group. We’ll help you reach your personal best and develop your leadership, communication and problem-solving skills.

On a voyage, you’ll spend a week at sea helping run a working ship, which includes:

  • setting and furling the sails
  • climbing the masts – the main mast is 33m high!
  • standing watch through the night with your watch group.
