Why choose Wildhartt?

Certified expert guides

Every expedition is led by qualified, passionate guides trained for safety in the wild.

Small groups, authentic adventure

Human-sized groups for a genuine adventure, far from mass tourism.

Wild & preserved nature

We explore the most beautiful wild spaces while respecting ecosystems and local communities.

Point your compass to the North Sea and the Atlantic for compact, high energy escapes. Our short adventure breaks in Zeeland move you fast from theory to practice. Over a three day weekend at Bruinisse you learn the sailing basics in a small group, take the helm, trim sails, handle manoeuvres and get a real taste of life on board. Prefer mixing disciplines? In Ouddorp a four day Zeeland itinerary strings together gentle coastal cycling on protected paths with a first kitesurfing lesson on a shallow, forgiving spot.

Keen to push offshore skills? Off the Morbihan between Quiberon, Belle Ile and Groix a four day small group sailing adventure takes you into night operations with an experienced skipper. You review weather, plan a route, read the chart, set a watch system, take your first night watch at sea, make clean sail changes and manage priorities amid real coastal traffic. The goal is clear, build useful autonomy, decide with confidence, communicate well and manoeuvre precisely.

These short adventure breaks in Zeeland and along the French Atlantic combine concrete learning, small groups and attentive guidance. Pick your format, check the dates, then reserve your spot.

Superbe expérience avec Wildhartt ! L’activité voile en Zeeland nous a permis de renforcer les liens dans notre équipe. La navigation apporte un sentiment de liberté et chacun peut avoir un rôle à jouer pour piloter le bateau.La communication avec les équipes Wildhartt a toujours été fluide et tout est mis en place pour s’adapter aux attentes.Je recommande !
C'est vraiment une expérience géniale. Je comprend maintenant les amoureux du voillier.
Brame du cerf en forêt de Saint-Hubert en Belgique.Une expérience unique et magique guidée par Stephane Parent. C'était parfait. Bon mélange de partage de connaissance, expérience et humour.Merci Wildhartt 🤎🦌
La semaine surf et yoga en Galice avec Wildhartt, le plaisir à l'état pur! Une région magnifique, une ambiance incroyable, des cours de super qualité, des conseils en or et surtout un tas de rires et d'amusements! Je recommande a 200%! Merci Disco pour la super orga et ce choix de collaboration au top!
Superbe journée, un petit groupe donc parfait pour apprendre plein de choses et pouvoir poser plein de questions! Notre guide était très à l’écoute et nous a laissé donner notre avis sur le programme et choisir ce qu’on aimerait faire :)
Super journée d’initiation à l’escalade en falaise ! Tout était parfait, Alban était un super guide 👌 allez-y les yeux fermés :) merci pour cette belle expérience
Le professionnalisme du guide m'a épaté. Un passionné. Merci à lui pour son partage. L'hôtel Quartier Libre est parfait. Chambres, nourriture, acceuil.
Très bon choix pour le gîte et le programme. Le guide Amaury a été impeccable du début à la fin. Très pédagogue.
Descente de la Dyle tranquillement en canoë , observation de la nature comme des libellules, des grands et majestueux arbres et furtivement un castor.
Très bons choix faits par l'équipe sur le logement, le guide Augustin et le programme.
Je recommande vivement ce séjour inoubliable !!! Exceptionnel !!
Super expérience ! Un encadrement au top et en toute sécurité pour une première ascension au dessus des nuages. 🤩

Who is this for?

These trips are for you if you want to learn by doing. New to sailing, you want solid foundations over a weekend in Zeeland. Already comfortable under sail, you are ready to level up with a real night watch off Belle Ile. More into the outdoors ashore, you prefer coastal cycling and a beginner friendly kitesurf lesson. You enjoy small group life, are happy to share common tasks on board and around camp, and you have the fitness to ride for several hours and repeat manoeuvres at sea.
