Adult ProgramsBytown Brigantine’s adult voyages on the STV Fair Jeanne are designed for people who are looking for a hands-on adventure in a demanding yet rewarding environment. Our adult sail training programs aren’t for everybody though. Quarters are tight, days can be long, and unlike a cruise, everyone is expected to help operate the ship: you might find yourself cleaning a toilet. We’re looking for people who can handle challenge; those who are willing to come together as a crew in order to sail a type of ship that demands teamwork in order to achieve success. The type of people that enjoy Bytown Brigantine sail training programs are the ones that are willing to learn, though experience, all aspects of seamanship and navigation from tying knots, chart work and setting sails to taking the helm of an ocean-going tall ship under full canvas. Brockville to Picton ON June 14th -20th 2009Hot Spots of the Seaway, Lake Ontario and 1000 Islands; A Working Sailor's Tour through the region's most sought-after destinations. Begin your voyage in “the city of 1000 islands” and learn the story behind ‘Dr.Williams Pink Pills for Pale People'. Catch live theater in Gananoque and sail across the border to the quaint river town of Clayton, NY where local pubs and the antique boat museum await you. Meander through the beauty of the thousand islands, take in Singer Castle and end your voyage in Prince Edward County, a gastronomic delight for hungry sailors. Enjoy these spots and more from the best waterfront accommodation in town, the tall ship Fair Jeanne. Cost of the trip is $890 for 7 days and includes all food, onboard accommodation, training, a rigging knife that is yours to keep and trainee log book. Are you up for it? Sign up on the registration page.
Picton ON to Quebec City June 23rd-30th 2009The Scenic Seaway: From the renowned wine making region of Prince Edward Country past the castles of the Thousand Islands to the UNESCO historical treasure of Quebec City.

Sample local wines in Picton, learn the tales of heartbreak and romance of the castles of the 1000 islands, walk down millionaires row in Brockville, sail through the lost villages on the St.Lawrence, explore old haunts of Jaques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain and end your voyage in Québec City, Québec. Cost of the trip is $930 for 8 days and includes all food, onboard accommodation, training, a rigging knife and a trainee log book. Are you up for it? Sign up on the registration page.
