Autumn Voyages 2026
Four passages are open for booking on Spirit of Ostend's autumn calendar: Antwerp to Ostend, twice across to Ramsgate, and once to London and back. Each one is all-in, covering berth, meals, skipper and mate. Meals are prepared together on board, not served, and everyone aboard stands watch and helps run the boat alongside the crew.
"What stayed with me most after sailing from Boulogne to Ireland aboard Spirit of Ostend was the authenticity of the ship and the passion behind it. Jo doesn't just take people sailing, he takes you into the story of the vessel. The history, the Atlantic crossings, the craftsmanship and the teamwork on board create something rare today: a true sense of adventure and seamanship. Spirit of Ostend is not just a yacht. She's a living piece of maritime history that makes you feel part of something bigger the moment you step aboard."

"Any time you can spend on 'Spirit of Ostend' is time very well spent, and you'll remember it for the rest of your life. Jo is a great skipper, and a great person."
