Tall Ship at sea

Tall Ship Program

Set sail on a voyage of discovery — where teamwork, adventure, and reflection come together on the open sea.

Leadership, Teamwork, and Adventure — Under Sail

The Tall Ship Program is a unique outdoor education and leadership experience conducted entirely aboard a sailing vessel. Participants become part of the ship’s crew, learning seamanship, navigation, and cooperation while sailing Malaysia’s coastal waters and islands. It’s more than an adventure — it’s an immersive journey in resilience and shared responsibility.

Life on Board

  • Active participation in sailing tasks — hoisting sails, steering, and navigation.
  • Team rotations for daily duties, including galley, deck, and watch shifts.
  • Morning reflections, evening debriefs, and facilitated learning sessions.
  • Anchoring near remote islands for snorkeling, exploration, or conservation activities.
  • Emphasis on leadership, teamwork, and environmental stewardship.

What Participants Say

Being part of the crew changed how I see teamwork — we relied on each other for everything, and it built real trust.

Daniel K., Participant

The sea challenges you in ways the land cannot. I learned to lead, follow, and stay calm even in rough conditions.
