Whether at sea or on land, the Sea Cadets offers young people across the UK amazing opportunities for personal development - by learning new skills and working in teams - we offer an environment where young people find new confidence and inspiration.
Today, 14,000 young people based in 400 units in towns, cities and ports across the UK are challenging themselves and developing new skills, like sailing, boating and rock climbing - supported by 9,000 volunteers.
Our aim is to inspire young people through nautical adventure and challenge to help give them a head start in life.
Go on, get out on the water with us. You’ll experience the most exhilarating – and unique challenges. Whether it’s hoisting the sail of a yacht, navigating waves in a powered craft, or racing down a river in a kayak -nothing compares to the feeling of being out on the water, right there in the elements.
Take on challenging nautical training onshore on Britain's waterways and at sea, where you'll pull together with other cadets to safely navigate Britain’s coastline. This is teamwork taken to another level.
We have our own Fleet of: 2 yachts, 2 power vessels; TS Jack Petchey, TS John Jerwood, and our flag ship TS Royalist, a 29 metre brig.
