This voyage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sail aboard S/Y Argo, our 112-foot schooner, from Cape Town, South Africa to Antigua in the Caribbean via St. Helena, Brazil, and Devil's Island. The voyage offers a full complement of academics that can be tailored to the specific needs of each student. Additionally, this voyage will prove to be an exciting travel adventure that emphasizes blue-water sailing skills development, SCUBA diving training, and cultural exploration. Sail training certifications for this voyage are issued through International Yacht Training, as IYT offers the only global standard in professional yachting certifications. Once underway, there are no passengers on this voyage! With over 6000 miles to cover in a relatively short time, much of the program will be spent at sea, with shipmates and staff rotating through the responsibilities of life aboard, each a part of the working crew. Between passages, we will be making landfall in a number of diverse locations, and our time nearshore will be spent exploring the local area and cultures.

Brazil’s capital of the southern state of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, is on an island featuring breathtaking scenery and vibrant cultural and university life. Students enroll at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, where students can experience firsthand the life of Brazilian students. They live in a homestay, allowing access to the life of a local family. Through coursework, various extracurricular activities with peers, internships, or volunteer work, they are expected to "live the language" in Florianópolis. The Middlebury - C.V. Starr Schools Abroad are characterized by a commitment to language development. Students sign and honor the Language Pledge, promising to speak only the target language during their time abroad. Those already at an advanced level of Portuguese come away from the program with superior language skills and the fact that they have gained an authentic study abroad experience.
