WYLDE SWAN

Your journey begins on board Wylde Swan. Qualified coaches teach you how to work in teams together to be successful in a group. This is the kind of experience that will benefit you for a lifetime. The resulting feeling of team spirit on board Wylde Swan is hard to beat! Quote from a trainee: "What is the best of all? Being out at night, at the helm, while the others are sleeping. In a way, that is such a rich feeling. Others have so much faith in you. They can nicely go sleeping while you’re in control. In the beginning, I was afraid. I thought: ‘Could I handle that responsibility?’ Now I feel like a king. You know what it is, you’re never alone. You do it with your team. And the crew. And the coaches. They know exactly what you can and can’t do. When they think I can do it, I can. It seems like there is a new boundary that I cross every day. With a heavy heart, I count the days until it’s over."

Our aim is to achieve quality in education, hospitality, sailing performance, and presence. We developed our on-board educational programs in collaboration with high-quality knowledge partners. The ship, the crew and the operational concept are carefully matched to provide you, as a sail trainee, with useful life-skill experiences. Learn how to sail the ship while you’re on board and build your interpersonal leadership skills at the same time. During competitions, the Wylde Swan always goes for the prizes – Winner Over All and Friendship Trophy 2011. This is something we’re very, very proud of. Wylde Swan is the largest two-mast topsail schooner in the world. Built to win races, cross oceans and be sailed with passion. You are welcome to join us.
