The voyages are designed for young people aged 13–19, with an emphasis on independence, teamwork, and learning new skills. They are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some sailing experience. Participants should be able to cope with being on a boat for several days, work as part of a team, and take part in day-to-day life aboard a sailing vessel. Young people with educational support needs or disabilities are welcome, with staff providing guidance and support throughout. ### Do I need any previous sailing experience? No previous experience is required. The professional crew provides full instruction in all aspects of sailing, including helming, navigation, and ropework. Participants will gain confidence in every task, from basic sailing skills to teamwork responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, and watch duties. By the end of the week, most will feel competent handling a traditional vessel. ### What qualifications can I earn? Voyages follow the RYA Cruising syllabus, giving participants the option to gain Start Yachting or Competent Crew certificates. These qualifications are recognised nationally and can be a stepping stone to further sailing opportunities. Sailors keep a logbook of their hours and skills, which is useful for tracking progress and preparing for higher-level RYA courses. For those on a DofE Gold Residential, the voyage also counts towards the Residential requirement. ### Where do we sail? Sailing typically takes place along the south Devon and Cornwall coasts, with routes chosen based on the weather. Participants may visit hidden harbours, quiet bays, and small islands along the way. In exceptional weather conditions, there may be the opportunity to sail further afield to the Isles of Scilly. The variety of locations allows for a mix of sailing, swimming, beach activities, and exploration. ### What is life like on board? Life on board involves actively participating in all aspects of the vessel’s running. Participants rotate tasks including steering, navigation, hoisting sails, cooking, cleaning, and rowing ashore. Evenings are spent relaxing on deck, reviewing the day, or socialising with other crew members. The experience fosters independence, confidence, and teamwork in a supportive environment. ### What safety measures are in place? All voyages are supervised by qualified and experienced sailing instructors. Safety equipment, including lifejackets and waterproofs, is provided for every participant. Staff provide clear guidance on all activities, including handling sails, navigation, and going ashore. Emergency procedures are briefed at the start, and crews maintain constant communication during the voyage. ### What accommodation and facilities are provided? Participants sleep in shared cabins with bunks appropriate to the size of the vessel. Bedding, including mattresses, is provided, but participants should bring a sleeping bag and pillow. Vessels have shared living spaces for meals and socialising. All meals are included and are prepared either by staff or participants under supervision, creating a sense of shared responsibility. ### Are there opportunities to explore ashore? Yes, voyages often include stops at beaches, coves, or harbours where participants can swim, explore, or have a barbecue. Time ashore is supervised, giving participants a safe chance to relax and enjoy the surroundings. These stops provide a break from sailing while reinforcing teamwork and giving the crew a chance to experience the coastal environment, wildlife, and local culture. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/P1010425-4-scaled.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 12 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
