Individual Voyages

We run a small number of voyages for individuals each year. Some of these voyages are suitable for people wishing to complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Residential section. It is also possible to complete the RYA Start Yachting or Competent Crew course.

Join the crew aboard one of our beautiful vessels for an adventurous sailing voyage along the British coastline! We have various options available sailing from the North East, East and South Coasts. 

Living and working in the confines of a sailing vessel is the best way to form friendships, build teamwork, learn new skills and have great fun and adventure.

Extra funding may be available from our Voyage of Discovery Fund for anyone experiencing particular financial hardship.




Our individual voyages include all food onboard, waterproof clothing and safety equipment.
