Hey everyone, I love tall ships and sailing, but I grew up in a landlocked state and never had the chance to learn as a kid. Now I live in Boston and I'd love to learn to crew a tall ship, but I have no idea how to learn. All the organizations here seem to focus on high school kids or teach sailing little boats.
Forgive me if this isn't the right sub reddit. My sister-in-law is planning to go on a Jewels of the Cyclades cruise in Greece on the MS Galileo. I'm not a professional sailor, but I grew up sailing and did an Ocean Classroom trip my senior year of high school, so my wife asked me to look into it. Has anyone crewed on this vessel or for this company? Reviews all look great, but curious to know any opinions from folks in the industry. Many thanks!
Hi,
New to sailing and wanted to see if I could work my way up to getting a position on someone's boat.
I live in the UK, happy to travel and wanted to see what the basic courses I would need to get on board and start building my experience.
Cheers!
hi all
looking for some feedback,
I see a lot of people posting to find jobs.
which is amazing, but I don't understand why a centralized system for this exists, but still nobody is really willing to try.
I get that it might not be perfect, but it would take a lot of the stress out of the job hunt.
can anybody share their experiences?
I would love to go on a sailing trip and experience some of this world!
Hi! I’m 28F Argentinian well travelled and lately I’ve been trying to find a group to go on a sailing trip. I live in Italy but I’m open to go basically anywhere.
A few days ago I am seeing an amphibious boat and I just pause like okay this look very unreal honestly. One moment it is moving on land and next moment it goes straight into water. It feel like two machines combined into one. I am thinking how engineering behind this must be very complex. It look fun but also very smart.
Now I am thinking if it perform equally good in both places or compromise somewhere. I usualy see separate vehicles so this feel little diffrent to me. I am also wondering about speed and control in each mode. Some days ago I am not really thinking about this but now it feel interesting. It look cool but maybe not perfect in everything.
Later I am laying and scrolling random stuff, checking many options on alibaba and seeing different models. Some look very advanced honestly. Now I am thinking if its worth having or just something for special use.

I’m in my 20s located in Greece. This summer after my final exams I’ll have plenty of time so because I always liked this whole sail experience and since I’m in a very touristic country I thought that it would be a great idea to invest on my future a bit and try to get a skipper’s license.
Since yacht or boat renting is not so popular among my country i thought that it would be a great idea to invest in getting a license and later I buy a sailing boat or a yacht and maybe rent it. I know there are many things I have to learn first before getting a license (If im not mistaken the license for a sailing boat and a yacht is a lot different) and I don’t have a relative or a friend that has to do with those anything similar that has to do with sea jobs so if you can please give me some advice before starting :D
