She'd just keep sailing!
Lena, 15
I enjoyed sailing at sea so much that I now want to become a skipper myself! I also loved swimming in the sea, seeing dolphins and spending the evenings together with everyone!
Share The Wind
Because sailing can change lives
Our concept
For one week, teenagers become adventurers, discovering the world from a sailing yacht! They get hands-on experience, build confidence at the helm and leave their everyday worries behind. Out at sea, everyone becomes part of a crew, working together to keep the boat moving.
At Join The Crew, we see firsthand how sailing can change lives. We want to give that same experience to teenagers who might otherwise miss out.
In Experienced Hands
- Our concept was developed in collaboration with social workers, and teenagers from SOS Children's Villages have already joined us on board.
- The trip is led by a JTC skipper and accompanied by two supervisors: an experienced youth worker with emergency medical training and a certified lifeguard who also serves as co-skipper.
Who Supported Us in 2025
- Dream Yacht Charter, one of the world's leading yacht charter companies, provided a yacht for Share The Wind.
- The JTC community donated €1,000 towards food and provisions.
- Join The Crew covered travel expenses for the entire crew, as well as skipper costs and other organisational expenses.
Ready for Round Two!
We're setting sail again in 2027! Teenagers from the Munich area who wouldn't otherwise get the chance to go on holiday can enjoy a whole week of sailing adventures – completely free!
Straight from the Crew
We asked the teenagers about their experience after our first sailing trip in 2025. This is what they had to say:

This was the most unforgettable week of my life so far! My highlights were sailing and spending the evenings together. We need more boats so more people can experience this dream ;)
