Seamester: Caribbean to Mediterranean - 70 Days

loved it. The challenges that brought people together and helped me grow as a person, the sheer beauty and thrill of sailing across an ocean, all the stops along the way, and the list goes on and on. The staff were super super super incredible and I wish that everyone had the opportunity to do something this awesome and fun. Thanks for the best summer ever. I did actionquest two years before and I knew the GXG was an awesome group. I would recommend taking some stuff off the packing list because I did overpack. That might’ve just been me though. Loved the food and even though they warned us we would get tired of pasta, I never did. All the staff was awesome. They always cared selflessly and made the trip so much fun. They always made sure to put us before themselves and even though I would’ve been tired of dealing with us by the end, they were always energetic, smiling, and positive. I was able to grow as a person and socialize better. This trip was awesome.

This summer I spent 40 days crossing the Atlantic ocean with some of the most amazing people I have ever met. The passion and energy that the Sea|Mester crew brought to S/Y Argo is what made my trip so special. I highly recommend any Sea|Mester program to anyone who loves to explore, sail, or wants to push themselves to do something simply extraordinary.

This program was both an excellent learning opportunity and a life-changing experience. I was able to learn seamanship and nautical science under experienced sailors while living at sea. I saw places few ever visit and from a perspective unlike that of a typical student abroad, and I immersed myself in a unique culture - a ship at sea - spurring not only social development but also personal growth. Some of my fondest memories were formed on my voyage and I left with a refined character and a genuinely new outlook on life. I cannot speak highly enough of the program and recommend it without hesitation to anyone with a sense of adventure.
