Round trip from Martynika · 2–12 March 2028
Who is a free-berth voyage for: - For people aged 15 and over. - For both those wishing to learn the basics of sailing and experienced sailors. - For travel enthusiasts looking for unique experiences. No sailing experience is required. We encourage group bookings. Voyage character: A free-berth voyage usually lasts 7 or 10 days (special voyages may differ in duration). Participants are expected to act as sailors, forming an active part of the crew and the watch to which they will be assigned. Our tall ships have the tradition of sail training vessels, serving maritime education. The overriding principle is: SAFETY FIRST, which makes sailing one of the safest sports, despite climbing the masts and yards. The crew is divided into three watches. On STS Fryderyk Chopin, each watch consists of around 12 people. Depending on whether the ship is underway, alongside, or at anchor, different tasks await the watches. These include duties such as navigation, sail handling, maneuvering drills, galley work (the ship’s kitchen), and keeping watch over the tall ship while alongside and at anchor. Everything takes place under the supervision of experienced staff and with the support of instructors belonging to the so-called skeleton crew. Tall ship voyages can be physically and mentally challenging for participants. Nevertheless, we know that sailing is one of the most rewarding ways to spend free time, and a voyage on a tall ship is a unique experience and adventure unlike any other. Sailing is a skill that can be developed throughout one’s entire life, and every voyage is unique. In addition to sailing skills, crew members improve in areas such as teamwork, decision-making, and responsibility for others. Voyage route: The planned route will be announced on the day the voyage begins and will depend on weather conditions and the captain’s decision. The permanent crew will make every effort to ensure that the places visited are as attractive as possible. Only the embarkation and disembarkation ports remain unchanged. Martinique
