Adventurous sailing trips and events

I was very nervous about going to sea, but I needn't have been. Thanks to the patience and professionalism of the crew I was able to function as a sailor very quickly. I strongly recommend a voyage on the Oosterschelde to anyone regardless of whether you are a sailor or not.

Incroyable expérience de naviguer sur ce bateau centenaire. Une équipe passionnée et investie qui sait transmettre sa joie de naviguer dans une ambiance vraiment conviviale, et en faisant avec les différentes langues parlées à bord. Un riche moment hors du temps !”

Met afstand was dit onze mooiste reis ooit! Wat een prachtig schip. En wat een enthousiaste en deskundige bemanning! Samen met de medereizigers hebben zij ons een onvergetelijke zee-zeilervaring bezorgd. Het was onze eerste, maar zeker niet de laatste, reis met de Oosterschelde!

The Oosterschelde is managed by a group of passionate, dedicated, professional and respectful people, both on board and on shore. Oosterschelde, you have given me a unique experience I will never forget, and you will forever remain in my mind and in my heart.”

Together with my husband Bert we were on the trip around the Cape Verde on the Oosterschelde and had a great time. The crew was fantastic and very friendly. They showed us what has to be done to sail a beautiful ship like this.

The camaraderie amongst the guests and crew was amazing and the feeling of being part of a team made the weekend for me! Great food, great fun and great company on board a beautiful ship... what more could you ask for! Thanks to Martin and his amazing crew for a wonderful experience.”

Nigel - Verenigd Koninkrijk

The excursions gave us a good range of impressions of the different islands and left time to sample local food & drinks. We are looking forward to welcome Oosterschelde when they visit London.

Six years after my first trip with ‘Oosterschelde’ I have kept a close watch on her sailing programme, longing for another short trip that would fit in my agenda. This Kiel to Scheveningen trip seemed just perfect - and it was indeed.

Erik - Netherlands

The crew takes great care of the ship and their professionalism inspires confidence and appreciation of the skills they bring to the ship. The guest accommodations are luxurious (for a tall ship) and the food is great.

Bruce - USA

Het was voor mij een hele belevenis en even voelde ik weer mijn zeebenen in actie. Respect en waardering voor de kapitein, de stuurman, de kok, en de matrozen voor hun inzicht en vakmanschap.

Betty - Nederland

Again a very friendly crew, some of which I already knew. New for me was Richard, the cook. We had great food during the trip. Almost all objectives mentioned in the description of the trip on the website were achieved with some creativity of the captain. This is not easy with the Scottish weather.
