EMBARKATION DAY 03/12 AT 17:00H
DISEMBARKATION DAY 04/12 AT 09:00H
Sail the mighty Rio de la Plata from Montevideo inland to Buenos Aires: Argentina’s vibrant capital. From wine tasting in Argentinean wineries and tango lessons during the balmy evenings, to the world famous Argentinean steaks: Buenos Aires has it all.
Visit also the traditional estancias outside Buenos Aires and ride across the vast plains. This short sailing trip is the perfect interlude to a city break to two of South America’s most versatile cities.
Before and after your leg of the journey
We strongly recommend that you book a few days’ accommodation in the port of embarkation (before joining the Oosterschelde), and a few days in the port of disembarkation (after you have completed your leg of the voyage). This will allow you to recuperate before and after your adventure and give you the opportunity to explore places at your departure and arrival points.
Level 1
Level 1 trips are suitable for anyone in good health. We sail, for example, in sheltered waters or close to the coast. In case of bad weather, we can seek shelter in a harbour or opt for a more sheltered route.
OOSTERSCHELDE wants to be accessible to the widest possible public, but you should be aware that you are making a trip on board a sailing yacht. This demands more of your physical capacity than a daily walk. One trip is more demanding than another. With the different levels we provide an indication of what kind of trip it is. If you are unsure whether a trip is suitable for you, it is important that you contact Tall Ship Experience for advice.

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.
