Teen Summers

Live-Aboard Sailing Adventures

If your teen craves life at the helm, a live-aboard yacht becomes both home and classroom. Days revolve around plotting courses, trimming sails, and anchoring in hidden coves—usually 10–14 teens per vessel under professional instruction. Trips range from quick one-week samplers around Tortola to 21-day journeys that weave through more than ten Leeward Islands. Expect seamanship lessons, night passages under a dome of stars, and plenty of splash-time off the stern.

Dive & Marine Science Expeditions

Budding oceanographers can dive into reef ecology, underwater photography, and conservation projects focused on coral restoration. Programs for middle schoolers start with snorkel confidence and fish ID, while high-school itineraries include PADI certifications and citizen-science data collection. Whether it’s a 12-day intro or a 40-day deep dive, students surface with new skills, stronger swim strokes, and a passion for protecting the sea.

Volcano & Island Leadership Treks

Prefer hiking boots to flippers? Multi-sport expeditions thread summit ascents—think Nevis Peak or Saba’s Mount Scenery—with cultural immersion and service projects in local communities. Teens take turns leading route planning, provisioning, and group reflection, often over 18–24 days. The reward: sunrise views from a crater rim, shared meals with island elders, and leadership chops that translate far beyond the tropics.

Combo Journeys

Can’t decide? Hybrid programs braid sailing, diving, and trekking into one seamless loop, perfect for travelers who want a taste of everything. A typical 21-day “greatest hits” itinerary might hoist sails in the British Virgin Islands, head south to snorkel Anguilla’s reefs, summit The Quill on St. Eustatius, and wrap with a cultural fair in Antigua.
