We’re outward bound on the water and our residential sailing voyages offer a learning experience and adventure for groups and individuals aged 16 – 25 years.

If you are an adult group 18 – 85 then you can also book a residential voyage with us. Check out the adult sailing page for details. 

All voyages that are 5 days or longer can also qualify for Gold Residential DofE if you are doing this and subject to eligibility.

Remember, you can also create your own residential experience. Talk to us about the dates you want, the size of your group, where you want to go and we can see if we can fit it into our programme. Or, you can select a voyage from one already in our sailing schedule and book it out entirely for your group. Easy!

If you can’t afford the full price of a voyage remember, our bursary scheme is here to help you jump onboard. A bursary helps reduce the cost to enable you to have the opportunity. Bursary funds are always limited to availability so the sooner you decide to join us the sooner we can help you secure the bursary funding!
