An Extraordinary Sailing Camp In France & The Channel Islands
It’s much more than a live-aboard sailing course for teens: It’s an unforgettable adventure to surprising destinations on gaff-rig pilot cutters.
Come join an international crew of teenagers, catch the wind, and explore the coastlines of western France and the Channel Isles on some truly extraordinary yachts. It really is an epic adventure, and one of the safest and most hassle-free options for teens wanting to travel to France this summer. Limited availability. Apply now!
