Which Teen Summer Adventure is Right for You?
Find the summer adventure with the right mix of fun, learning and adventure.
Sail Caribbean offers you all this and more with nine different teen adventure programs in two different locations in the Caribbean – British Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands.
While all of our teen summer adventures offer personal growth, community service, new friendships, new skills, and lifelong memories, each has unique opportunities and challenges. On all of our voyages, learning to sail and live aboard boats are core components of the student experience, in addition to a specific activity or curriculum.
Sailing & Diving Adventures
• Alpha Sailing & Watersports is a fast-paced 12-day program giving teens a taste of everything we offer. You’ll experience watersports, try scuba diving, study marine biology and earn community service hours all while sailing and exploring the Britsih Virgin Islands.
• Our Bravo Sailing, Watersports & Scuba adventures combine our traditional sailing curriculum with a focus on all watersports. 
Here you can try scuba diving, get certified, or if already certified get your advanced certification. Or you don't have to dive at all! These summer adventure programs take place in the British Virgin Islands and offer a wide array of optional courses.
• On Charlie Advanced Scuba, Sailing & Watersports, teens who are already certified divers enjoy a rigorous advanced scuba diving curriculum while also learning to sail. On these ultimate teen scuba adventures, you can earn multiple dive certifications and study marine biology for extra fun and learning. The breathtaking dive sites you will visit are in the British Virgin Islands.
• Delta Sailing, Island Exploration & Watersports students experience "blue water" sailing while visiting the culturally diverse Leeward Islands. Students earn 10-15 community service hours working with local youths and conservation groups.
Community Service & Academic Adventures

On every program your home is on the water. You live aboard a modern 47-50' monohull yacht or 43-47' catamaran (on Foxtrot, Tango and Sierra) with 9-11 other teens in your age group making new friends and forming a solid team. Your boat sails with others in a fleet that can range in size from 2 to 6 boats depending on the program. Your itinerary provides a balance of both small and large fleet experiences. There are plenty of full fleet sailing days, offering healthy competition and camaraderie, as well as independent days when the fleets break into smaller groups and the students determine their own schedule, activities, and anchorages.
Along the way you'll be learning – about sailing, about preserving the paradise you're visiting, and about yourself, your crewmates and your islander hosts. You'll gain confidence with each passing day. We'll be right along side you, helping you meet your goals. All of our teen adventure programs are created with safety at their foundation. We make it a point to combine fun with learning and responsibilities – a combination that has made Sail Caribbean a summer favorite for over 30 years.
