🌊 5 Reasons to Sail with Young Endeavour 🌊

Here’s why Young Endeavour stands out from the rest:

1️⃣ National Program with a Proven Legacy – Over 15,000 young Australians have sailed since 1988, supported by the Australian Government and Royal Australian Navy.

2️⃣ Once-in-a-Lifetime Challenge – Voyages focus on real growth: resilience, independence, teamwork, and leadership – far beyond a simple sailing holiday.

3️⃣ Professional Navy Crew Mentors – Your young person learns from highly trained Navy personnel, gaining unique skills and guidance that other youth development programs can’t offer.

4️⃣ Safe and Supportive Environment – Accredited safety standards, expert crew, and structured training make Young Endeavour one of the most trusted youth development programs at sea.

5️⃣ Lifelong Impact – Alumni often describe their voyage as “transformational,” with benefits felt in study, work, and personal life long after they step ashore.


📅 Applications now open for 2026 voyages – including the final voyages onboard STS Young Endeavour before our new state-of-the-art vessel joins the fleet.
