A bit about us

To do this, we offer life-changing voyages to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds onboard our ocean-going yachts. Our voyages enable young people to develop the life skills, social skills, confidence and self-esteem needed to raise their aspirations and make positive life choices. Every year we give more than 1,200 youngsters a life-changing experience at sea, approximately 80% of whom are experiencing disadvantages or living with disabilities.
