As the first sold out season in over five years comes to an end, BRIGS looks forward to setting sail again across the Great Lakes in Summer 2022.

Summer Voyages on TS Playfair are the core of our program and provide an experience unlike any other. You will be an active member of the crew and live, eat and sleep onboard our Tall Ship. By the end of a voyage, you will know the fundamentals of how to sail a Tall Ship and be certified as a Brigs ‘Lead Hand’. But it’s not all sailing! Activities during your voyage will include swimming, singing, campfires and exploring ports and anchorages throughout the Great Lakes.

Berths fill up quick – be sure to book today to secure a spot onboard! Click Here for more information as well as more financial assistance than ever – funded through our Pathfinder Access Fund. Just select it during the booking process!

BRIGS is also offering a 15% Early Bird Discount for those who book before December 1st, 2021 (or until quantities last).
