Your Journey starts in Oban, a port on the Scottish West coast famed for its lush, dramatic coastline. From there you embark on an expedition across the waters of the Irish Sea and the Atlantic ocean, past the Hebrides to St. Kilda. Enjoy stunning vistas and visit remote islands as you harness the wind on the Tall Ship Oosterschelde. The atmosphere on board is congenial, and you and your fellow Windseekers will bond quickly over many shared experiences. Keep an eye out on the water for whales!

The exact route of your Journey will depend on weather and wind, but you're sure to visit many places of interest. Amble around quaint port towns, hike up windswept hills and observe colonies of puffins and other seabirds that make their home on the cliffy coasts. You'll also explore the mysterious Fingal’s Cave, deep in the basalt cliffs. Mingulay and Bearnaraigh are also on the itinerary. In Castle Bay you will find shops, an old church, and Kismuil Castle - a twelfth century fort on a cliff.

While on board, you will experience the perfect balance between relaxation and excitement. The Oosterschelde is well-appointed and offers comforting meals from its galley. Meanwhile, there's always something to do on deck. Help out with setting and trimming the sails, and take part in the Watch rotation. By day, you'll be astounded by the beautiful horizons this area has to offer. By night, you sail under the mesmerizing starry skies as you have the deck to yourself. Experience life at sea!

The waters west and North of Scotland are an exciting sailing area. Currents and tides, swells and sheltered bays can all be found at relatively short distances from one another, making for a varied sailing experience. Because the area is rife with small rocky islands, the sights are spectacular! While the Irish Sea is relatively sheltered, the North Atlantic will give you a taste of true ocean sailing. The area's relative isolation makes for some great nature life spotting.
