Take on a lifechanging adventure and participate in a 7 day voyage onboard STS Leeuwin II.
We operate under the principle of “challenge by choice” where STS Leeuwin II is a working ship and all participants are expected to be involved in most aspects of ship operations, from sailing, steering, navigating and cleaning the ship to climbing the masts. The level of challenge is up to each participant.

SCHOOL DAY SAILS
The Foundation takes out school groups of all ages on 4 hour short sails during school terms. These sails are different to public sails as they focus more on team building activities. The sail touches very lightly what life would be like on a voyage and is a great activity for kids of all ages. Expressions of interest for dates in 2011 are now open, please contact salesandmarketing@sailleeuwin.com to register your group.
