Step aboard the Golden Lion for a unique experience. The Sail training program on board enables young trainees to increase issues such as social skills, self-confidence, leadership and technical skills. You learn how to fully deploy these skills and thus reach the point where the trainees run each part of the ship itself.
Cross the Bay of Biscay in good company. Step aboard the French city of Brest for an exciting trip to northern Spain. On board you will meet young fellow sailors from many different countries and learn how to sail on a traditional Tall Ship. You will be actively involved in sailing the ship over the Bay of Biscay, together with the professional crew. The mentors on board ensure that there is always something fun to do!
You will reach A Coruña in time to see many other Tall Ships gathered for the 2020 Tall Ships Races event. Spend a few days in port, taking part in exclusive crew activities before saying goodbye to all your new friends.
The ultimate goal is always the takeover of the ship by the trainees. That is why everything needed to sail a Tall Ship is carried out by the trainees; from waiting to cleaning the deck.
During the voyage the trainees learn and experience maritime tradition and values that are indispensable for life on board and within a close-knit community.
At the Golden Lion, the students are closely acquainted with the nautical and maritime world. The teaching material, which is traditionally transferred into theoretical lessons, takes a direct and practical form here. The trainees continue to learn during leisure time and waiting, be it seamanship, navigation or the expansion of their technical knowledge or practical skills.
There is a suitable range of duties in every area. Those with an interest in technology and equipment can work in the engine room or with technical maintenance, while trainees who prefer organizational work can do this, for example, with route planning.
Depending on the duration of a trip, it is possible to delve deeper into some subjects. The focus is on increasing social involvement and team spirit.
Food allergies and dietary requirements
If you have dietary requirements or allergies, it is best to discuss this before booking. Often it is not a problem, but sometimes some cooperation is expected from the guests if special products have to be purchased, which will then have to be taken by the guests themselves, for example.
