Journey

Fernando de Noronha (BR) – Salvador (BR)

EMBARKATION DAY 09/10 AT 17:00H
DISEMBARKATION ON 17/10 AT 09:00H

From Fernando de Noronha we sail along the spectacular Brazilian coast towards Salvador de Bahia. At the start we enjoy the south-east trade winds, but closer to the coast the wind blows from the north-east almost all year round. The weather is (generally) good and the sky is clear. The sailing promises to be very pleasant. It is only around the capes that the sea is usually a bit rough due to the strong current combined with the wind. The historic centre of Salvador de Bahia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and breathes its colonial past. Although a bit touristy, it sometimes seems that not much has changed since Charles Darwin first set foot here. You can still hear rhythmic music everywhere and see energetic dancers in the streets.

Taking a boat trip from Fernando de Noronha to Salvador da Bahia without properly exploring these two special places would be a missed opportunity. That’s why we strongly recommend booking a hotel or guesthouse for a few days, before and after your boat trip, to make it an “unforgettable trip”.

The city is renowned for its food, vibrant music and energetic dancing, as well as the beautiful beaches nearby.

Level 1

Level 1 trips are suitable for anyone in good health. We sail, for example, in protected waters or close to the coast. In case of bad weather, we can take refuge in a harbour or opt for a more sheltered route.

OOSTERSCHELDE is designed to be accessible to everyone, but you should be aware that you are travelling on a sailing boat. This places greater demands on your physical abilities than a daily walk. One trip is more demanding than another. With the different levels, we give an indication of the type of trip. If you are not sure whether a trip is suitable for you, it is important that you contact Tall Ship Experience for advice.

Valid passport
Sunglasses and sun cream
Binoculars for observing all kinds of aquatic creatures.

Camera and video camera to keep an unforgettable memory of your trip!

Vessel

Oosterschelde

The three-masted schooner “Oosterschelde” was built in 1918 as a sailing cargo ship. The ship plied European waters and was frequently seen off the coasts of Morocco and the Mediterranean. In 1930, heavier and more modern diesel engines were installed and the rigging was reduced. From 1939 onwards, the ship sailed under a foreign flag and in 1950 underwent a drastic conversion into a modern coastal vessel. In 1988, the “Oosterschelde” was returned to the Netherlands. The Rotterdam Sailing Ships Foundation took over the fundraising necessary to finance the restoration of the ship to its original condition. The “Oosterschelde” is now the only remaining representative of a large fleet of schooners that sailed under the Dutch flag at the beginning of the last century. It is registered as a monument by the Dutch Ministry of Culture. The “Oosterschelde” is autonomous and is used in domestic and foreign ports for presentation and promotion activities. domestic and foreign ports for presentation activities and by companies and other organisations. In 1998, the “Oosterschelde” completed a one and a half year voyage around the world. The ship sailed to Antarctica, the Falklands and South Georgia.
