“With the wind in your sails and the salt on your lips, you can experience the Oosterschelde to the full.”

You step aboard a sailing ship in Wemeldinge and immediately feel both the peace and the energy of the water around you. As soon as the skipper casts off the ropes and sets a course for open water, your adventure across the Oosterschelde begins. The largest wet National Park in the Netherlands. The wind fills the sails, the ship heels slightly and you look out over the water that constantly changes in colour and character. Here, it is not just about sailing, but about truly experiencing it.

As you sail further, you hear the water lapping against the hull. You feel the fresh wind on your face and smell the salty air that is so characteristic of the Oosterschelde. Everything around you moves to the rhythm of the water. Along the way, the skipper tells you more about the area, the currents, and the special wildlife. You learn how the tide shapes the landscape and why this body of water is so unique. Mudflats, sandbanks, birds, and saltwater make this boat trip a true experience, right in the middle of a dynamic National Park where nature, peace, and adventure come together. Anyone who wants to can also lend a hand on board. And if you choose a trip featuring oysters, you can literally taste the Oosterschelde: fresh, pure, and local. With a bit of luck, you will spot seals on the sandbanks along the way or see harbour porpoises surfacing in the water. That makes this trip even more special.
