The organization operates public and private sails aboard historic vessels including the Denis Sullivan and the Roseway, combining cultural interpretation, ecology programming, and seasonal events. Sails range from two-hour educational trips that highlight local ecology and wildlife to gala fundraisers, holiday parties, and appreciation sails that raise funds for student programs.

Programming partners include local historians from CHANT and the St. Croix Environmental Association, who lead cultural and ecological discussions onboard. These collaborations reinforce curriculum quality and ensure accurate, locally rooted storytelling. Tickets, events, and fundraising galas support school scholarships, in-classroom materials, and experiential learning for St. Croix students.

Staff and volunteer crew include trained educators and experienced sailors who supervise hands-on activities such as raising sails and observing marine life, maintaining safety standards while promoting active learning.
