Product Details
Sea Quest is a sailing expedition around the most beautiful and famous islands off the Italian coast. Our program introduces 12 - 17 year olds to the magic of sailing and core nautical skills while voyaging along one of the Mediterranean’s most idyllic coastlines. Sea Quest combines on board sailing adventures with onshore cultural excursions. Students live aboard 50 foot yachts working as a close-knit crew to develop communication and leadership capabilities while practicing sailing skills under the careful guidance of certified instructors.
Program and Activities
Students set sail as part of a pair of yachts, each with an experienced sailing instructor and Alphabet crew member. Every day they acquire knowledge that is immediately put into action as they navigate from island to island, setting the course, tacking, jibing, dropping the anchor for a swim or mooring at a marina for the night. Throughout the journey, students take part in interactive lessons on marine life and cultural history to enrich their time in the water and trekking on land.
Certifications and Full Immersion English
Our staff is made up of qualified mother tongue instructors and the whole experience is run entirely in English. From daily instruction on sailing basics to team projects and marine life workshops, all learning is rooted in experiential education with students enjoying a sense of achievement as they put their newly acquired skills to practice. Life aboard a yacht presents the perfect full immersion environment to develop communication and leadership skills which in turn strengthen relationships and build self-reliance. At the completion of the journey students are awarded a sailing certificate of achievement together with memories to last a lifetime.
Sailing Itinerary
Starting from the port of Nettuno, students set out on an incredible sailing adventure, setting course to the Pontine Islands (part of Circeo National Park) with Zannone for world-class snorkeling and Ventotene to discover the ancient Roman port. They continue their sailing expedition heading south to Ischia and Capri, for a cultural excursion to the Aragonese Castle, a visit to the renowned Blue Grotto and a night in Ischia dining in a true Neapolitan pizzeria. They will complete the week by sailing back up to Nettuno with an overnight stop in Santo Stefano to visit the famous abandoned Bourbon prison.
