We offer unique sail-training adventures for teens aged 12-18, delivered aboard our two Tall Ships, STV Pathfinder and TS Playfair.

These youth officers are then responsible for training the next group of youth who join us onboard for the regular summer programming the following year. This unique youth-to-youth chain of command helps our teens develop strong leadership skills while maintaining a level of professionalism and responsibility that is rarely earned at such a young age. This program builds character and develops leaders of tomorrow.
