Sailing on a sporty and comfortable cabin sailing yacht. Experience steering, navigating, trimming sails, and how a sailboat works yourself. Of course, there is also plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful nature. You sail on the Oosterschelde, the largest national park in the Netherlands.
Evening sailing can be booked individually, so you also meet other guests on board. You are allowed to bring your own drinks on board, but we also sell chilled drinks and snacks on board.
Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
We sail with a maximum of 8 people on a 3-hour sailing trip on the Oosterschelde. At the meeting point, you will meet the other guests, and I will tell you something about the history of our village. Then we walk to our sailboat. On board, there is a brief introduction and safety instructions, after which we set sail. We invite you to help with the tasks on board, but if you prefer to relax and enjoy yourself, that's perfectly fine too. On the day itself, we look at what possibilities there are, what we can discover, and the wishes of the guests. Safety comes first; sometimes we have to cancel the trip due to, for example, strong winds, but you will always be informed in advance. There are sailing suits and life jackets on board, which you can use for free.

It was a wonderful evening ! Marco taught us a lot about the origin of the area and about the tasks involved in sailing. It was really great for everyone to lend a hand and steer the great sailboat. Marco and Monica were a very loving, personable and competent team. Absolutely great! 10/10 🤗 Thanks again to you two 🎈

Super nice sailing trip over the Oosterschelde. Skipper Marco explained everything great and we were able to actively help on board. Thank you Marco for this great experience and also thank you to your wife Monika who provided us with delicious drinks.

It was a very great trip. The description of the activity matched 1 to 1. You could help anywhere (set sails, steer etc.). The organizers are very friendly and helpful. The view and atmosphere in the small group were great and it was possible to take beautiful photos of the sunset. Drinks and music were also provided. With briefing etc. the event lasted around 3h. For us it was worth it and we recommend it to others.
