Join a Safe Haven Voyage 

Since 2015, we have been taking young people on sailing projects through our flagship project, Safe Haven Voyages. On these unique integration programmes, participants from both migrant and non-migrant backgrounds come together as a team to form the crew of yachts or Tall Ships.

On board, young people learn about sailing, navigation, and teamwork — and discover more about themselves and each other — all in a fun, challenging, and supportive environment.

Recruitment for the 2026 season is now open!
If you would like to join a Safe Haven Ireland voyage next spring or summer, please contact us at safehavenireland@gmail.com.

We also offer bursaries to place trainees on sail-training voyages run by other providers.

See below for details of our past voyages.
