Sailing

Just you, your shipmates, a 50ft vessel & the power of the wind...
Now, with the breeze in your hair and the helm in your hands, you realize how far you and your teammates have come.

As the best-established and well-respected teen sailing summer camp in the world, ActionQuest has been offering sailing as a core component of our educational summer adventure camps and programs for over 35 years. Sailing is what we do best! Whether a novice or seasoned sailor, you will advance your sailing skills on the world's most beautiful waters under the guidance of ActionQuest's incredible staff.

Our licensed, certified instructors teach AQ students internationally-recognized sailing courses through IYT (International Yacht Training) during any of our sailing camps. Many of our staff were once AQ shipmates when they were teenagers, so they can relate to the power of extreme adventure and discovery while under sail.

All of our adventure summer sailing camps include some time spent living aboard a yacht and most are run full-time aboard sailing vessels. This is a core component of any AQ experience. Beyond the fun, living and learning aboard a yacht offers a perfect environment to develop leadership and communication skills, as there is nothing contrived about teamwork when working together as part of a tight-knit crew.

Our sailing camps have always been grounded in experiential education. Students have a greater feeling of accomplishment from having completed things themselves. In addition, self-reliance and confidence soar from achieving new skills and certifications.
