Voyages available NOW
There is a 2026 programme here showing which voyages are already reserved and which still have spaces; but the list below also gives current availability for different types of voyages.
The 2027 programme is now available as well and open for bookings for group voyages (organisations booking the whole boat, 12-15 places). So far only two voyages in summer 2027 have been specifically designated for individual bookings but we aim to add at least another four summer individual voyages in due course – please email us if you would like to be notified when the full programme of individual voyages is open for bookings.
Latest information
Individual bookings (age 11-25)
Group bookings (organisations wishing to book the whole boat, for 12-15 people)
Adult bookings (age 18+)
Please see here for our full 2026 sailing programme (showing the full schedule including booked voyages as well as those currently available)
Individual voyages
Voyages for young people aged 11-25 who want to come and mix with others. Please state your age and any sailing experience when applying, and also tell us if you have a passport or would be able to get one before your voyage; and if possible give us options for different voyages you might be able to join. We will then aim to put together compatible groups, and avoid mixing 11-year-olds and 25-year-olds on the same voyage, or putting a few people with no passport on a voyage where others would love to sail to France if the weather is right.
2026
No more 2026 availability for individual voyages – please look at 2027 !
2027
Currently open for bookings:
* 11-17 August, Brixham to Fowey, 6 nights, age 11-25, £780 per person – including the Fowey regatta
§ 18-22 August, Fowey to Brixham, 4 nights, age 11-16, £555 per person
At least four more summer 2027 individual voyages will be added in due course – please email us if you would like to be notified when the full programme of 2027 individual voyages is open for bookings.
Voyages marked § will be UK-only and are therefore suitable for younger people and for those who don’t have a passport. Other individual voyages MAY sail to France if we are lucky with the weather, and therefore passports will be required unless you enquire and we specifically advise otherwise; or we may visit the Channel Islands for which you must have an approved form of ID (please ask) but not necessarily a passport.
* Voyages lasting 5 nights or more are usually suitable for Duke of Edinburgh Award Gold Residentials (provided you don’t know more than 50% of the others in the crew). Four-night voyages, because of the start and finish times, are unlikely to give you enough time on board to meet the Residential criteria. PLEASE ASK if you are at all uncertain about whether a particular voyage is right for your DofE Award, and make certain when you book that we are aware that you are aiming to complete your Residential.
For all these voyages, including those which start and finish in the same place, the exact itinerary is determined only once the young people join the boat, depending on the weather forecast and what the young people want to do. These decisions are made as a team, with the skipper explaining safe and sensible options for the week, and the young people having a say in the final decision.
Group bookings (12-15 places)
The 2026 programme is available here and the 2027 programme is available here – please contact us to discuss group bookings, All 2026 bookings are currently reserved for clients but it is still worth talking to us about your requirements – some voyages are reserved by clients who need to raise money or gauge interest from their young people before finally confirming, and therefore it is possible that they will release the voyage and we can offer it to any other group which has expressed an interest. There are plenty of 2027 options still available.
Adult voyages (18+)
These voyages are used to select and train new volunteers, as well as for other adults who want to come and sail Prolific. Please note that people aged 18-25 can sail on either youth voyages or adult voyages; but these adult voyages are the only option for those over 25.
