The Brilliant program focuses on educating participants about sail handling and theory, teamwork, being a good shipmate, stewardship, navigation, and proper seamanship.

All teens are expected to fully participate in all aspects of daily vessel operations from hauling on lines and steering to helping in the galley. Participants must be physically fit and agile as well as competent swimmers to take part in the sailing program. Once you reserve a berth aboard Brilliant, you will be sent a health form, letter of agreement, and a booklet of information outlining what to bring, arrival information, and other details. No previous sailing experience is necessary.
