We provide the boat and the sails. You lead the way. Arrive in St. Martin and climb aboard a 50-foot boat bound for endless opportunities to lead, bond, master new skills, and achieve.
This course puts you at the helm – of the boat, the journey, your crew and most of all, your overall experience. Learn basic seamanship, navigation and more as you sail 500 nautical miles, past fifteen Caribbean islands. Sail through the night on 80-mile, 15-hour jaunts. Learn and practice Theories of Risk Management, effective leadership, group dynamics, problem solving and decision-making. A large portion of the program lies in the hands of the students themselves. Each student leads a segment, plans passages, maintains a budget, and guides discussion.
“The whole trip was beautifully thought out and planned and organized. She was stimulated and excited to learn.” — Jody Guralnick, Aspen, CO
