Sail training is not just learning to sail. It is learning from sailing.

From the ship, from the sea and, most importantly, from yourself.

The mission of Tall Ships America is to encourage character building through sail training,

promote sail training to the North American public,

and support education under sail.

We work with tall ships operators, host ports, crew, and corporate sponsors to focus on youth education,

leadership development and preservation of the maritime heritage of North America.
