Ocean Youth Trust Scotland

Ocean Youth Trust Scotland (OYTS) is a voluntary organisation that supports the personal development of young people, aged 12-24, through its programme of voyages aboard an ocean going vessel.

Established in 1999 as a charity in Scotland (no. SC 029531) OYTS promotes its programme of Adventure Under Sail to a broad spectrum of young people.

OYTS is committed to delivering quality youth work at sea and broadening the horizons of its voyagers. OYTS's project voyages enable young people from disadvantaged groups and those from inner cities to participate on the Trusts Training Vessel.

OYTS also promotes the importance of lifelong learning to its adult volunteers through its training scheme.

OYTS currently maintains a 70' Ketch, specifically designed for working with young people, and takes over 500 young people to sea every year from ports around Scotland.

This vessel is crewed by a Professional Skipper who is supported by over 180 voluntary Seastaff who provide over 32,000 voluntary hours of work every year.
