Tall Ships Youth Trust – Sailing in Cardiff – Wales

This four-night residential sailing experience aboard a 72-foot Challenger yacht lets you explore the sea, develop social and teamwork skills, build confidence, and meet people while enjoying adventure and challenge.

We’re in Cardiff for You!

Be part of something special as we launch our first Cardiff-to-Cardiff voyage of 2026: a transformational, confidence-building adventure that starts right in the capital of Wales.

This is your chance to step away from the everyday and do something exciting, challenging, and simply unforgettable!

You’ll set sail along the Bristol Channel onboard Challenger 5, one of our iconic 72ft Challenger yachts. Challenger 5 has a proud Welsh heritage and carries the Welsh dragon branding across her transom.

On this voyage, you’ll:
– learn the ropes of life at sea
– take on real responsibilities as part of a close-knit crew
– develop confidence, self-esteem, and teamwork
– explore the ocean environment and spend some time ashore.

Whether this is your first time on a big boat or you’ve never sailed before, this voyage is designed for you. No prior sailing experience is required.

You’ll have the opportunity to complete the residential section of your Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and earn your RYA Start Yachting certificate.

Bursary funding is available for those who need support.
