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 – 75 then you can also book a residential voyage with us. Activities are limited until Mid August until restrictions relax a little bit more. 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!
*Please note that current guidelines in Wales mean that we cannot undertake residential (overnight activities) in ports in Wales. This means that our residentials are currently taking place in England and will follow English government guidance at the time.
