Leadership Voyages & Discovery Journeys
Along the Atlantic Coast
Aboard a 70-foot classic schooner sailing the Atlantic coast of West Cork, Ireland.
Spirit of Ostend is a classic sailing vessel operating along the Atlantic coasts. She hosts voyages that combine seamanship, shared responsibility, and time for reflection.
Some journeys are designed for people who carry leadership responsibility. Others are open discovery journeys for those who want to experience life at sea, no sailing experience required.
Facilitated voyages along Ireland’s southern and western coasts, where people who already carry responsibility find space for conversation, reflection, and sound judgement in the demanding and generous conditions of life at sea.
Leadership Voyages
Open sailing voyages for individuals, couples, and small groups who want to experience life on board Spirit, with shared work, changing landscapes, and unhurried time at sea.
Discovery Journeys
