Oosterschelde:
Le Marin (MQ) - Grenada (GD) - Le Marin (MQ)

04 April - 16 April 2026

Caribbean Cruising. Find the Oosterschelde in a sheltered bay near the village of Le Marin. After a good night’s sleep and a refreshing morning swim in the bay, it’s time to depart. For the first time, you will help hoist the sails and feel the trade winds propel the ship through the deep blue waters. You will sail south, passing Saint Vincent and the many islands of the Grenadines, towards Carriacou and then to Grenada before turning back north to Saint Lucia, Dominica and Guadeloupe on your way back to Martinique. Hike in the rainforests, swim under waterfalls, climb volcanic mountains or snorkel in the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and enjoy your energising winter break!
Open to all Windseekers aged 18+. Younger trainees, accompanied by an adult, at request.
