Youth and school groups

We can tailor a voyage just for your group!

Whether you’re a youth group, school, college, charity, social club or Government agency, we can help you find the perfect trip.

We offer anything from day sails and weekend tasters to residential weeks or even Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. Young people can also work towards and achieve RYA qualifications.

We have worked with many groups over the years including Scouts, Girlguides, YMCA, schools, special needs schools, pupil referral units, youth offending teams, young carers, police, The Prince’s Trust and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme.

This has given us a wealth of experience in organising voyages for groups of young people, so give us a call on 02392 832055 to discuss what type of voyage would work best for your group!

The crew's dedication and commitment was fantastic and the relationships they formed with the students in such a short period of time was a pleasure to watch.

Special needs

Our voyages are fun, challenging, stimulating and vibrant. They offer a supportive and unique environment in which young people with special needs can develop their independent living skills in preparation for adult life.

Young people with special needs, including:

  • Varying degrees of learning difficulties
  • Attention control
  • Fine motor coordination problems
  • Mild visual or hearing impairments
  • Behaviourial and social interaction challenges

can and do benefit from sailing with us and no previous sailing experience is necessary.

So, if you are a parent or carer of a young person with special needs, or work in a special needs school or group, please get in touch today. Call us on 02392 832055.

Festive Voyage 2022

Race weekends for groups

Are you looking for a fun but competitive sailing challenge to energise your young people and support their development?

We’re inviting sailing clubs, schools, colleges and other youth organisations to compete in our Challenger Championships!

Sailing onboard an iconic 72ft Challenger yacht, your group will take part in an exciting and competitive race with a ‘Le mans’-style start. Out on the ocean the young people will become an integral part of the crew and get involved in all aspects of running the vessel. This includes ropework, sail handling and even taking to the helm!

Working together onboard to overcome common challenges, young people develop resilience, self-esteem and life skills, which they can take back to their communities and thrive.

We have exciting race weekend opportunities throughout the year, so why not challenge your rivals to a friendly competition, while supporting your young people’s personal development?

If you would like to organise an exciting and rewarding racing experience for your group, please get in touch with Diana Bunescu diana.bunescu@tallships.org or call Diana on 02392 832055.
