The purpose of the trip

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.
