There were many opportunities to get involved in the Tall Ships Races as a volunteer. In previous years, there have been well over 150 local volunteers taking on a variety of roles – all of which are vital to the smooth running and success of the event.

In 2023 160 volunteers joined in to deliver a range of important roles to help the event run smoothly and safely. This included the incredible team of 60 ships liaison officers who acted as ambassadors for Shetland and the port to support and welcome the fleet to our shores. Volunteers were provided with uniform kits to help them be identifiable to the public. They also received training to ensure they were able to support the event effectively. Thanks to Seafood Shetland and TotalEnergies for sponsoring the fantastic volunteer teams.
