Oosterschelde:
Le Marin (MQ) - Guadeloupe (GP) - Marigot (MF)

01 May - 13 May 2026

Explore the Caribbean while sailing! Join the Oosterschelde in exploring Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Barths and Saint Martin. Spend 12 days sailing on the Caribbean Sea, taking turns to steer the ship, navigate, and work with sails. Climb the masts to untie the square sails and take a minute to enjoy the breath-taking views as you glide over the water. Visit multiple islands, hiking in the rainforests, snorkelling, trying local cuisine and relaxing on white sandy beaches. Make your way to Marigot in the French part of Saint Martin, where you will spend your last night on board anchored in a bay while you feel the waves rolling the ship for the last time. Until the next one, of course!
Open to all Windseekers aged 18+. Younger trainees, accompanied by an adult, at request.

Ports

Marigot is the capital of the French part of St. Maarten. It’s a typical Caribbean town, complete with colorful houses, small streets and a relaxed atmosphere. The climate will help you adjust to the pace of life on the island, but if you want to do more than sip piña coladas, you’ll find plenty to do. Visit the old fort St. Louis, overlooking Marigot bay, the French Quarter (Orleans), and Paradise Peak. But Marigot’s main draw is to just be there and enjoy one beautiful day after the other.
