Tall Ships Youth Trust

We are the UK’s oldest and largest sail training charity, but becoming a sailor is not the only outcome. We are a youth development charity that helps young people redefine their horizons through adventure learning at sea. We take young people aged 12-25 on residential youth sailing voyages onboard iconic yachts. Out on the water, under sail, they learn lessons that set them up for life and help them realise their true potential. To support our mission, we also run a programme of adventure voyages for adults that directly subsidise our highly-effective youth development programme. We have a vision of society where the exclusion of young people and a lack of opportunities for them are things of the past. Together with our supporters, we are doing everything we can to help young people from all over the UK stand taller than ever before.
