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!

🌬️Never sailed before? Perfect!

You don't need to know how to sail, have a favourite shanty, or know the difference between port and starboard.

WIND is about learning by doing, with experienced crew and mentors there to guide you.

Come with questions. Come with ideas. Come ready for an adventure.

⛵ Life at Sea | Climbing the Masts

One of the most memorable parts of sailing a tall ship is climbing the masts. Climbing for the first time can be challenging, but it also brings a great sense of achievement!
With the crew guiding you every step of the way you'll learn how to climb the rigging, work safely at heights and work with the sails.

It’s not obligatory, but we recommend that you try it at least once. It’s an unforgettable feeling, and the views are simply amazing.

Have you climbed the masts before? Do you remember the first time?

🌬️More than an exchange. More than a race. More than a sailing adventure.

WIND brings together:
Sail training on a tall ship * International youth exchange * A mini-regatta between the ships * Meetings and activities with other crews * Mentors on board

And then there's the part that makes WIND different: You help shape what happens next. Your ideas. Your interests. Your adventure.

🌬️ What would be YOUR perfect journey?

If you could create your perfect sailing adventure, what would you put on the programme? ⛵

A night-time challenge? An ocean clean-up? A cultural evening? Learning something completely new? A game with another ship?

With WIND, you don't have to choose from a pre-made programme. Tell us what you'd love to experience, and we'll work with you to make it happen.

No need to organise it yourself, just bring the idea!

What if you could create your own sailing adventure? 🌬️ Meet the WIND!

The Windseeker Intercultural Navigation & Discovery (WIND) is a new project created by young people, for young people. With WIND, you get to take the helm of your own experience and have a say in what happens on board.

Until now, only we asked for your feedback after the journeys. This year we’re doing something different and giving you a say before, so you can tell us what you’d like to happen on board. You will sail a tall ship, make friends from across Europe, take part in a mini-regatta and explore new places. But what would make this adventure truly special for you?

Tell us what you’d like to experience, and we’ll work together to make it happen!
No pressure to come up with anything. No obligation to organise it yourself. Just bring your ideas, your curiosity and your sense of adventure!

Leg 1: Brest → Den Helder | 15-25 July 2027
Leg 2: Den Helder → Rostock | 25 July-4 August 2027
Ships: Gulden Leeuw, Morgenster, Wylde Swan

Join the WIND Challenge and help shape the route:

Join a youth project (ages 15-25) which combines an international exchange with a regatta. Three tall ships, two legs, one unforgettable experience!

⛵ Life at Sea | Chilling

It’s not all about challenges and watches – a part of sailing on a tall ship is being in nature, taking in the vast sea or beautiful landscapes, and enjoying the feeling of moving under sails. Whether you’re looking for a contemplative moment alone, or hanging out with your new friends, there are always some magical moments to be experienced at sea.
