Leadership Voyages and Discovery Journeys on the Atlantic Coast
Spirit of Ostend is a classic sailing vessel operating along the Atlantic coasts of Ireland. 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 voyages for those who want to experience life at sea, no sailing experience required.
Leadership Voyages
Facilitated voyages along Ireland’s southern and western coasts, where people who already carry responsibility find space for reflection, judgement, and conversation in the demanding and generous conditions of life at sea.
Discovery Journeys
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.
Life on Board
An introduction to the rhythm of daily life on Spirit: sailing, watchkeeping, shared meals, maintenance, and quiet moments underway and at anchor.
