The Shipmate Membership is a one-time, six-month membership level is available for Tall Ships America member vessels and programs to award to participants who have completed a full-day or overnight experience aboard their ship. The goal is simple: by keeping your sailors connected to the broader tall ships community, we can help sustain their enthusiasm and deepen their engagement with the work you’re doing. Please note that your organizational membership must be valid to offer this program.
Membership includes:
- Exclusive access to members-only resources, deals, and merchandise
- Discounts at all Tall Ships America events — including the Annual Conference, regional meetings, webinars, seminars, and TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE®
- Subscription to Running Free and Member News email newsletters
Check with your tall ship program to see if you’re eligible!
