“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails…
Explore…Dream…Discover”
Mark Twain
If you are young or young at heart, we have a range of adventurous sailing holidays that have been designed with you in mind!
On board one of our traditional vessels you will find an adventure voyage that offers the perfect opportunity to broaden your horizons.
Working with your fellow crew mates under the direction of the professional crew, you will be responsible for all aspects of helping to sail the vessel. Whether it’s hoisting sail, helming, navigating, keeping watch, cooking or swabbing the decks!!!
It’s a great opportunity to try something completely different, meet new people, make new friendships, and learn lots of new skills.
How can I join the adventure?
Adventure Sailing on Golden Vanity
If you like the idea of hoisting sail, helming, navigating, keeping watch, cooking and swabbing the decks!!! You can also do all of that during an adventure sailing week on Golden Vanity.
As part of a crew aged between 15 and 25 years you will sail from her home port of Brixham with a range of possible destinations from the South coast of Devon and Cornwall to the Channel Islands and France.
It’s a big, exciting and very fulfilling experience and one that you will certainly be able to share stories about when you get home!

Small Ships Races 2012
This season we are taking part in two ASTO small ships races, with some extended passages and close quarter sailing these will be a truly unforgettable experience.
The June ‘passage race’ from London to Portland will involve a four day offshore voyage.
The October 'round-the-cans'race is a two day event based in the Solent. Great sailing with a fun and adventurous crowd!
Many people who come sailing with us have little or no previous experience of sailing. All you need is to be keen to learn and try new things and our professional crew will be there to help you with everything else.
