Windseeker

Windseeker Get active, get adventurous! Join a sailing journey on a Tall Ship - no experience needed. At Windseeker, we believe that life-changing adventures start at sea.

You don’t need any prior sailing experience to join—just a willingness to step out of your comfort zone and onto the deck of a tall ship. Through our international Sail Training programs, you’ll learn to sail, navigate, and work as a team aboard some of the most impressive vessels in the world. Our voyages take place year-round and across the globe. You can choose from different types of journeys.

Is it your first time at sea? Are you not sure it’s for you? Sail Training is offered on most of our trips and it will give you a taste of a real seaman’s life. The Exchange@sea is an international youth programme with environmental theme, where friendly mentors will organise fun activities. If you like the thrill of competition and excitement of big international events, you should join the Tall Ships Races or Regattas where you will race against a fleet of international vessels, and then celebrate in port with hundreds of trainees just like yourself. Are you an explorer as well as sailor? Join an Expedition to combine your sailing time with adventures on land. Or maybe it’s the opposite, and you only care about sailing fast, to reach your destination on time – then the Port-to-Port Delivery is for you. The Oceancrossing is the ultimate challenge, a trip of a lifetime – and it’s within your reach. Because Windseekers are team players, we’ll help you to raise the budget for your nautical adventure. And if you are between the age of 15 and 25, you’re eligible for a major discount! If you’re still not sure which journey to choose just contact us and tell us a bit about yourself – we know our ships well and will find you a right place. Come aboard and set course for new horizons!

⛵ Life at Sea | Happy Hour

On a tall ship, “Happy Hour” doesn’t mean cocktails. It means music on deck, everybody grabbing cleaning gear, and the whole crew working together to keep the ship in good shape.

Because life on board is shared responsibility, but don’t worry: even cleaning becomes fun when you’re doing it together at sea.

When you go through night watches together, waking up at 4 am, climbing the masts to fold up the sails, washing the dishes when the ship is heeling, and experiencing new things every day - it creates unique bonds that are difficult to find on land. That's why a lot of those connections stay with us for years!

☀️ Today is World Sunscreen Day!

When we’re sailing, it’s often (hopefully!) windy, so we don’t always realise how strong the sun can be. Even on cooler days, UV exposure can be intense, so applying sunscreen is essential.

But protecting ourselves shouldn’t come at the expense of marine life 🪸🐠🌊

In the kitlist we send after booking, we encourage trainees to check whether their sunscreen is reef-safe. You can do it with the Save The Reef guide at: https://savethereef.org/about-reef-save-sunscreen.html

⛵ Life at Sea | Night watches

Night at sea has its own rhythm. While most of the world is asleep, the ship continues moving, and the crew rotates through night watches to keep the course.

There’s a quiet focus onboard during these hours, and the best conversations are often had under the stars.

There’s something special about being on a tall ship with nothing but sea and horizon around you.

The movement of the ship, the wind in the sails, the feeling of travelling under your own power, all create a sense of freedom that is difficult to describe until you experience it yourself.

“The wind was in our favour so we were able to get in some nice sailing. Since we didn’t want to arrive too early, we made some long tacks between Belgium and the UK. This was nice because we had a very active watch and could really practice the sailing and finding the right position for the sails.
At night, our officer gave us a presentation about meteorology. He taught us about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they influence our course. It was very nice to learn some more about this because it all made more sense on the map on which way we were sailing.”

For me, the day began at 06:45 because Maartje (from the blue watch) and I went for a run. When we came back, there was a lovely breakfast waiting for us. At 10 AM, we left the harbour. The weather was perfect. Wind combined with sun! On deck, I read a book with a couple […]
