Tall Ships Adventures: Fast-track Personal Development For Young People

In an age of video consoles and Internet overdose, TS Pelican’s tall ships adventures for young people are a genuinely healthy, positive and life-changing experience.

Young people discover hidden strengths and learn new skills, giving them an understanding of the true value of teamwork and interdependence. We see every young person grow in confidence - gaining both social and practical skills - as they confront and meet new challenges, both physical and emotional.

While you may choose to fund a young person's voyage, young people are encouraged to raise the voyage fee themselves by securing sponsorship and funding. Our team will provide support and understanding from initial enquiry to embarkation. Opportunities exist for further development through the Youth Leadership Scheme and grants are available from the Adventure Under Sail charity.
