All areas experienced on board are transferrable to everyday life. Experience and skills learnt are applicable to better coping with the challenges of everyday life and moving forward in a prosocial manner to achieve your goals.
All of our programs are person centred and are designed to empower each individual on board.
A major part of our work is having fun. We aim to have participants and staff enjoy their time on the water. Time on board is a break from everyday life and allows space for participants to develop a new perspective on their skills and capabilities.
