Experience a unique sail training experience with a tall ship adventure!

 

Tall Ships Adventure is one of Canada’s top non-profit sail training organizations. We offer youth ages 12-18 the opportunity to sail aboard tall ships Fair Jeanne and Black Jack.  Stepping aboard as trainees, youth learn to operate the ships alongside the crew, truly becoming crew themselves. Youth take the helm, learn to chart a course, haul lines, climb aloft to furl sails, and complete activities around the galley and ship maintenance.  They increase self-confidence and resilience while having the time of their lives!  Working as a team they learn to overcome real-life challenges.

 

While the primary focus is learning to sail a tall ship, we have cool and interactive activities online and in-class to learn about navigation, engine room operations, cooking, public speaking, and so much more!

Tall Ships Adventures changes lives, builds leadership skills, and creates opportunities for young people to develop self-reliance through the medium of sailing. 

​

For more than 40 years, we have been an organization for youth run by youth. We believe that young people, with the right support, determination, practice, and resolve, can achieve the loftiest of goals and the highest of responsibilities, regardless of age.

We create opportunities and challenge young people to stretch their self-concept and reach for more aboard ship and in life.
