ABOUT US
Equipping youth for the future through Sail Training Adventures
For 30+ years, Tall Ships Adventure has been an organization for youth, run by youth. Our program dates back to one young teenager who stubbornly believed that he could take a lonely and unused sailing ship, refit the vessel into active duty and then sail it to Quebec City with a youth crew to participate in an international tall ship event.
Our founder, Simon Fuller, stood before the tall ship Black Jack as a teenager and dreamed of adventure under sail. He believed that young people, with the right support, determination, practice, and resolve, could achieve the loftiest of goals and the highest responsibilities, regardless of age.

WHAT WE DO
Tall Ships Adventure is a registered non-profit organization in Canada. We are a youth sail training organization run and lead by youth. We mainly sail all around the Great Lakes with a couple of voyages in the North Atlantic Ocean. Our adventures are mainly for youth and teens aged 12-18. However, we have a few adult voyages that take place in the fall.
Not only is an adventure on one of our tall ships the best trip to have during summer vacation, but it's also a fantastic opportunity to gain an extra high school credit while you're at it. Our Bytown Brigantine Academy (BBA) is accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education.
