We provide challenging experiences to New Zealanders to help develop life skills and important values

With us, rangatahi learn to understand themselves. They grow in confidence, build respect for themselves and each other.

Many overcome adversities, learn new skills and create life long memories.

What we Do

  • Through the use of world class yachts, we provide internationally respected experiences focusing on the life skills of communication, respect, integrity, teamwork and leadership.

  • We nurture confidence, courage and trust and develop an appreciation of the ocean and nature.

  • We inspire many young New Zealand sailors to explore careers in the NZ maritime industry

Cause and Effect

  • Young people complete the challenges set with respect for themselves and others.

  • By being challenged outside their comfort zone, our programmes are designed to bring out the best in everyone.
