Unfortunately, the war continues — and every day brings more victims. From the very beginning, the Ukraine Atlantique and Interparus Yachting teams have supported charitable initiatives aimed at helping Ukrainians affected by the conflict. One of our key areas is working with children: education, support, and a chance to feel joy again.

Yachting is not just about sails and engines. It’s a way to deal with stress, learn responsibility, trust a team, and believe in yourself. That’s why we regularly hold masterclasses and training programs for children — future skippers.

Recently, one of the older groups completed a week-long intensive yachting course. For many of them, it was their first time at sea — and, as it turned out, not the last.

We had already worked with these kids before. And it was from them that we learned some are now seriously considering connecting their future with the sea. With our support, they completed training and will soon receive their first yachting licenses.
