Sail Training Ireland is a charity that funds the training and development of young people from all backgrounds and all abilities on the island of Ireland by giving them the unique opportunity to participate on training programmes onboard tall ships and other vessels.

While they obviously learn about sailing it’s more about learning from the whole experience. The exciting adventure offers the participants the opportunity to overcome fears, push boundaries and take on new responsibilities in a challenging environment. The self devlopment programme teaches self-confidence, leadership, teamwork, resilience, and communication skills. It often has a profound effect on the participants outlook and life.

The charity also aims to support those that want to pursue further education or a career in the Maritime sector.
