At the JST we want to give everyone the opportunity to sail with us, so regardless of your circumstances we will try our hardest to get you on board. The JST subsidises every berth so the full price you see in the brochure is already a reduced rate. However, we’re full of great ideas to make a tall ship adventure more accessible to you.
In order to make our voyages as affordable and accessible to everyone, we have funding available for those who may not be able to afford the advertised brochure price. Interested individuals, both able bodied and disabled from the age of 16 upwards, can apply for funding of up to 50% of the cost of their selected voyage. For those participating in our Leadership @ Sea Scheme you can apply for up to £300 towards the cost of your selected voyage. We are only able to award bursary funding once.
