Best Summer Yet
by: Olivia Sucico - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Transpacific, Fiji to Bali - 80 DaysI sailed with Sea|messter for 3 months from Fiji to Palau and Indonesia.

The program is definitely challenging and will push you out of your comfort zone with long-passage and some rough nights but I now look bac...
A once in a lifetime experience
by: Lucia Carroll - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Caribbean Summer - 20 DaysBeing on Seamester was such an amazing experience in so many ways. From learning how to scuba dive to being completely under sail for the first time, I was able to learn so many new things and fall in love with boat life. The community was one of the best parts of the trip. Since we all are with each other pretty much 24/7 it’s easy to create really close relationships. Overall, the trip was amazing, the only thing I wish that was different was that I chose a longer trip
The Adventure of a Lifetime

It pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me so many new things about myself. The staff members were amazing with their teaching and support, especially when times got rough. Their diligence ensured we all made it safely across the pacific. I also loved the places we visited,...
