Kapitan Borchardt:
Delfzijl (NL) - Antwerp (BE)

03 July - 08 July 2016

No places available anymore – Sail at the Kapitan Borchardt. The voyage goes from the little charming town of Delfzijl in North of the Netherlands where there will be a Sail-event. Afterwards you will cross the Northsea and sail to Antwerp, one of the biggest and busiest harbors on the world. Open to all ages, minimum age 15 years.

Ports

The name Delfzijl means ‘sluice of the Delf’. The city is located in the north-east Netherlands and is home to the fifth largest port of this maritime country. Delfzijl is a picturesque place and taking a walk through its streets will certainly be rewarding. The unique Hanging Kitchens, and – of course – a windmill – are some of the architectural attractions, while the Muzeeaquarium hosts a few different collections.

Antwerp is a beauitful Belgian city on the River Scheldt, connected to the North Sea via the Westerschelde estuary. With deep maritime roots, it’s home to one of the world’s largest ports. Arriving by train? You’ll be welcomed by the stunning Antwerpen-Centraal station. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Rubens House and the contemporary Museum aan de Stroom, while Chocolate Nation, the world’s largest Belgian chocolate museum, offers a delicious experience for just about everyone.
