High School Study Abroad in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten

On this 12-day voyage through the Caribbean, discover the joys of life aboard, crew the yacht, plan passages, give back to local communities, and return with lifelong mates. Board a 50-foot monohull yacht in St. Martin and push off on an adventure to multiple islands and marine parks, a 17th-century fortress, and even a dormant volcano. Sailing on turquoise seas with gentle trade winds, learn about passage planning, knot tying, tacking, navigating, mooring, and anchoring. By the end of the journey, you have the necessary skills to take the helm and the International Yacht Training (IYT) certifications to prove it. Come and raise the sails on this summer you'll never forget.
