Join the tall ship MAYBE in Cork on August 14th 2019 for an unforgettable 10 day expedition that both begins and ends in Ireland. You'll be getting hands on with setting the sails, steering the ship, keeping watch and more throughout the voyage and the best part is that no experience is required in order to join - you'll be taught everything you need to know before you need to know it at every stage throughout the journey.

If you're hoping to earn the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Residential Award or the Gaisce President’s Award Ireland, this voyage is an ideal choice. If you or somebody you know is lucky enough to be aged between 15 and 18 then look no further. This is a great pick for those looking to take on a new challenge, gain new skills and meet new people.

Sailing with other young people from across the UK and Ireland, Maybe Sailing's youth voyages promise that even though you may step aboard as strangers to each other, you'll be sure to leave as a family.

The itinerary depends on the weather, though past voyages of this type have seen visits to secluded towns and bays, warming beach bonfires and even swimming.

Your journey aboard this beautiful Gaff Rigged Ketch will end in Cork where you'll disembark on August 24th.

 You must be able to climb a 6ft (2m) ladder
You must be physically fit enough to take part in sailing activities
You must comply with all safety regulations during your trip

Travel Insurance Is required. Once you have booked and paid for your voyage please ensure that you have appropriate travel insurance.

Maybe Sailing Vessels are covered by third party liability insurance for serious injury or loss of life, but they strongly advise you to take out travel insurance as soon as you book your holiday. Make sure you find travel insurance that gives you financial protection if you must cancel or curtail your holiday, cover loss or damage to baggage, or incur any additional medical or transport costs. If you have your own annual travel insurance or a cover with your credit or debit card, please check your own policy carefully to make sure it covers sailing/ cruising/ yachting for sailing more than 12 miles from shore.

Topsail Insurance offer policies that are tailor-made for tall ship holidays, whether pilot cutter, ketch, lugger or tall ship, and have no restrictions as to how far offshore you can sail, including Antarctica.
