Enjoy the summer sun and the sails on our guided boat tours showcasing historical Tall, Naval, and Heritage ships.

Europe’s biggest maritime festival returns! SAIL celebrates its 10th edition, its 50th birthday, and Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary.

Step aboard for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and enjoy SAIL Amsterdam 2025 from the best place possible — the water! This 60-minute cruise takes you up close to many magnificent ships docked along the IJ River in a truly magical experience.

Departing from just outside Central Station, you’ll be amazed as we cruise past majestic tall ships, iconic fishing vessels, and impressive navy boats — all here to celebrate the city’s rich maritime history.

Special note: On Wednesday 20 August (13:00–16:00) and Sunday 25 August (13:00–16:00), cruises align with the SAIL-in and SAIL-out parades — the awe-inspiring arrival and departure of the fleet. The number of ships passing by during these tours may vary due to nautical conditions.
