My D did a Gap Year and spent part of her year doing an internship with the Student Conservation Association. While most of these internships are land-based, I recall a few that required kids to spend a good portion of the day in a boat of some type. It is certainly worth looking into. They provide housing, a small stipend, and travel funds. So it is not an expensive option. The kids work hard and learn a lot. They certainly have an opportunity to develop independent living skills. I think it has made a big difference in my D’s maturity and confidence.http://www.thesca.org/
