Sea|mester is the premier provider of at sea programs for continuing education and gap year students. Sea|mester offers unique Caribbean and global educational adventures with a range of college accredited courses on seamanship, marine biology, oceanography, sailing, scuba diving, and student leadership. Students live and work aboard a traditional rigged schooner while sailing from island to island, country to country, or continent to continent. Students are active crew members involved in every aspect of ship life and learn to take command of the vessel, sit watch, and navigate from destination to destination. By the end of every voyage, Sea|mester students realize that it’s not the final destination, but the journey that means the most.

Sea|mester offers educational study aboard and gap year semester at sea programs for college students and high school graduates

Organization details
