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

23 March - 03 April 2026

Sail the Oosterschelde from tropical Paramaribo to the Caribbean, visiting Grenada and Saint Lucia on your way to Martinique. Sail along the Suriname River to the Atlantic Ocean, hoisting the sails and feeling the trade winds propel the ship across the deep blue waters. Enjoy the days (and nights) at sea, working together in watches to sail the Oosterschelde between the islands. Take the helm, navigate, trim the sails, and – if you’d like – climb the masts for the unforgettable views of the Caribbean Sea! Visit beautiful places and hike in the rainforests or snorkel in the Underwater Sculpture Park. Enjoy waterfalls, sandy beaches, and hike the volcanic mountains. Reach your destination in Le Marin and go for swim before enjoying a festive final evening aboard to celebrate the journey.
Open to all Windseekers aged 18+. Younger trainees, accompanied by an adult, at request.

Ports

Paramaribo is the capital city of Suriname, at the northern coast of South America. Visit the busy Central Market for a local atmosphere and Saint Peter & Paul Cathedral-Basilica, Neveh Shalom Synagogue or the Suriname Mosque for must-see architectural attractions. Then stroll down the Blaugrond street and grab some delicious food in one of the many lively restaurants.
