Voyage highlights
This unique three-night sailing voyage offers young people with additional needs, together with their carers, youth workers, or supporters – the chance to step aboard a 72ft Challenger yacht for a life-changing experience.
You’ll live and sail side by side, building confidence and resilience while sharing an unforgettable adventure at sea. Whether this is your first voyage or you’ve sailed before, our experienced crew will be on hand to support you every step of the way.
This voyage is about much more than sailing. It’s about teamwork, building friendships, overcoming challenges, and creating shared memories that will last a lifetime.
Carers, buddies, or youth workers will join their young person every step of the way, ensuring a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.
Call us to discuss the levels of support we can offer young people on 02932 832055, or email info@tallships.org.
Depending on the weather and tides, your voyage could include stops and anchorages around the Solent, the Isle of Wight, and along the south coast of England. Each day brings something new – from bustling harbours to quiet bays perfect for reflection and connection.
By the end of the voyage, you’ll notice a real sense of achievement.
The young people will grow in confidence as they take on new challenges, from steering a 72ft yacht to working as part of a team at sea.
Alongside your buddy, you’ll develop stronger communication and teamwork skills, learning to support each other in new and exciting situations.
The voyage is also about building lasting memories – the shared laughter, the quiet moments on deck, and the pride of overcoming challenges together.
These experiences stay with you long after you return to shore, leaving you with greater independence, resilience, and a deep sense of belonging.
The Skipper will determine the final route depending on weather and other variables.
Meals onboard are included.
