Tall Ships Adventure

Overview

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

Tall Ships Adventures changes lives, builds leadership skills, and creates opportunities for young people to develop self-reliance through the medium of sailing. We create opportunities and challenge young people to stretch their self-concept and reach for more aboard ship and in life.

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.

Even if you aren't one of our trainees, there are so many ways take part in what we do and live the adventure. From attending special events to being right where the action is on the ships, there's always lots going on at Tall Ships Adventures.
