ASTO is the Association of Sail Training Organisations. We bring together and support the charities and organisations delivering residential adventures at sea across the UK.

Water-fight at sea

More Than Learning to Sail

On these adventures, also known as sail training voyages, participants become a community, living and working together to help sail the vessel, prepare meals, keep watch and look after one another, supported by experienced staff.

By bringing the sector together, representing its interests and supporting high standards, we help our members deliver meaningful experiences for young people and disabled people.
