Welcome to the World of Tall Ship Adventure!

Bytown Brigantine Inc. is a non-profit charitable organization, dedicated to building character through the adventure of tall ship sail training.

Bytown Brigantine can become a year-round passion. In addition to our popular summer youth programs, we offer “weekend-away” training sessions throughout the winter as well as lots of opportunities to volunteer as crew for special events. There are even opportunities to sail in the exciting waters of the Caribbean. For young people with demonstrated needs, a bursary fund is available to cover the modest program fees.

Our trainees, young and old, come away from trips with broad smiles, newfound friends and vows to return. In fact, many return each year for different voyages that build on their new nautical skills and to rekindle the passion they find for life on a traditional sailing ship.

Bytown Brigantine strives to provide the highest standard of adventure, education and traditional seamanship training in a safe environment. Built as replicas of traditional 18th century brigantines, they are modern in every respect, built of strong materials and carrying the latest in electronic navigation and emergency equipment.

Our modest prices reflect our non-profit status and are intended to recover the costs of sustaining these unique ships for the young people of Canada.
