Sail Training Shetland
This trip has been amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.
The trip on the Swan...has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life
This opportunity has been a complete eye opener for me and I can only hope to do something like this again
It’s hard to think that 12 days ago we didn’t know each other at all but now were like a family sharing laughs and mischief
We have so many memories to share; the magic of the Mareel, the plunging waves and gales leaving us with salt swept hair

Current Scheme
During 2011, 42 young people from Shetland tasted life on the ocean wave through sail training opportunities made possible by Sail Training Shetland.
We are actively considering placements to be made available during 2012. Details on these opportunities will be posted on this page early next year so please check back for updates.
Applicants must be between the ages of 15 - 25 years although no previous sailing experience is needed to take part. Sail training provides an exciting adventure, new challenges and the chance to experience life at sea. On their journeys, trainees learn the basics of seamanship, become part of a team and make lots of new friends and experience an international exchange of cultures and languages.
More details on previous trainees and their experiences can be viewed on our Facebook page.
