Outcomes

For over 20 years, our aims have remained the same

We believe that all young people – particularly those facing deprivation, social isolation and exlculsion – should have the opportunity to realise their true potential and live healthy, fulfilling lives while contributing to their community. To align with this belief, our programmes are designed to be as relevant and fruitful as possible, while also maintaining three core aims:

Young people are confident, resilient and optimistic for the future
Young people’s physical health, mental health, and wellbeing improves
Young people participate in activities which improve their learning and employment options

89%

of young people leave with at least one qualifications

86%

of young people report improved confidence after their voyage

80%

of young people report an improved sense of belonging post-voyage

“I had a chance to see how the boat worked and I got to do some of the daily checks on the engine. I definitely want to come back and learn to be a bosun.”

“I feel a real sense of achievement after a week on the boat. I was nervous when I first came on, but now I’m ready for the next adventure!”

“The thing I like most about being on board is the environment. We created a family here, and I’m really going to miss everyone.”
