An Internship Bond is paid by the intern and held by the company. It is repayable to students who successfully complete the full contracted period of the training. This bond ensures that interns complete their training and do not leave early. Interns are an important part of our community and we need to know that they will be there for the agreed duration.

The Yachting Internship Thailand is a big undertaking for both Sail In Asia and interns themselves. We have found the experience more successful if both parties have clear objectives from the outset. Our interns are selected not only because we feel that they have a high chance of success, but because they can contribute to the on-going success of our company. Shared objectives are a good way to help ensure that this is what actually happens. To this end we agree with each intern a special project to run as a part of the overall intern program.

Our Internships have been running for many years and we have been very lucky with the quality of the interns we have trained.  Personality is really important and our customers have ofter commented on the superb customer service that they have had during the courses they have attended.  If you are good with people this is a training that will give you huge rewards.  Carefully evaluate the literature on this page and then if you think you are the right person - send us your cv and tell us why you want to join us and what you offer that makes you stand out against other candidates.

Expeditions and Adventure Training

International Schools come to Sail in Asia because we have developed really exciting outdoor education courses and adventurous journeys (including the Duke of Edinburgh International Award). We plan expeditions with the Outdoor Education specialist teachers from International Schools, using our fleet of 12 yachts, canoes and even dragon boats. We camp on tropical islands and sail in unspoilt estuaries and coastal waters. Our Outdoor Education website is worth reviewing, if you like the sound of adventure on water and engaging in running flotilla sailing in stunning locations. This work is really fulfilling and enjoyable. Check out the movie below to see what its all about.
