WHAT WILL I DO ON BOARD?
Every vessel is different and every experience will be too! You don’t have to be an experienced sailor, but by the end you’ll be on your way to becoming one. Your experience might include learning how to climb the mast, set sails, ring the ship’s bell and steer the ship. You might also get involved in cooking, cleaning and general life on board as crew member.
You’ll make friends with other young people from around the world and will probably do things you’ve never done before in daily life.
Lots more information about life on board, what to expect, what to pack and more can be found on our Life on Board pages.
