An Experience of Self-Discovery
Join the crew of a working sailing ship and leave your screens ashore. Set sail for an unforgettable week of adventure, discovery, and connection. Unplug, forge lasting friendships, and embrace a way of life guided by the wind and tides.
Learn new skills, grow your confidence, swim, sail, sunbathe, beachcomb, and explore harbor towns with your shipmates.
