The Barque Picton Castle is a three-masted tall ship based in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada but best known for our sail training voyages around the world. Sign aboard as a trainee to explore the legendary South Pacific including Pitcairn Island, French Polynesia, Samoa and Fiji from February to May 2014, or be Westward Bound starting in July 2014 as Picton Castle sails from Fiji back to her North American home in Lunenburg by way of Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Bali, Reunion, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, St. Helena, Senegal, Cape Verde, and the islands of the Eastern Caribbean. No previous sailing experience is necessary, just a strong back and willing heart.
