Take Your Classroom to the Water
Transform School Field Trips with Real Maritime Experience Aboard the Doolin-Rogers

Step outside the classroom and onto the Doolin-Rogers—Youth Marine Foundation’s premier educational vessel and floating classroom on Puget Sound. Designed for hands-on learning and career exploration, our maritime field trips turn a day on the water into an unforgettable journey into STEM, environmental science, and maritime careers.

Students get real-world exposure to life at sea—navigating, learning seamanship skills, and interacting with maritime professionals. More than just a field trip, the Doolin-Rogers provides the perfect platform for students to begin earning the required underway time toward industry-recognized credentials, including the Able Seaman (AB) certification.

Whether you’re introducing students to the water for the first time or guiding career-ready youth toward their maritime goals, we tailor each experience to fit your curriculum, schedule, and budget. Every voyage is a chance to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and open doors to the working waterfront.

Set sail with us—where field trips inspire futures and learning meets the sea.
