The Morning Star Trust is a Christian adventure sailing organisation. Our aim is the personal and spiritual development of individuals through the challenge and fulfillment of sailing at sea.

We are a 'not for profit' charity, run by a small base team, supported by one or more gap-year workers. Apart from the full-time Sailing Manager all the skippers and mates are volunteers.

All of us are Christians. We are happy to talk about our faith while letting people make their own decisions about what they believe. Sailing provides an opportunity to step back and take an overview of how life is going. To make the most of this we generally have a "thought for the day" or a short discussion of questions like "What do you think is the best way to be happy?".

The activities of the Trust include the following: 

• Adventure sailing 
• Tall Ships races
• Coastal and offshore cruising

• RYA qualifications
• Duke of Edinburgh Award (Residential)
• Group charter
• Gap-year opportunities

A gap-year with Morning Star Trust offers a unique opportunity for some amazing sea sailing adventures as well as the chance to gain professional sailing qualifications, boat maintenance skills and build sea miles.
