Have a unique experience aboard a traditional sailing ship and sail along to Sail Amsterdam! During this special trip, you will enjoy the adventure of sailing, the impressive spectacle of the Sail Entry parade, and the atmosphere of Amsterdam.

We raise the sails and set sail for Amsterdam. On this first leg of the voyage, you will fully enjoy sailing on the IJsselmeer and Markermeer, the fresh breeze, and the view over the water. You can actively participate on board, such as hoisting the sails and steering the ship, or just relax and enjoy the trip.

Our destination is Amsterdam, where we will attend the entry parade of the ships during Sail Amsterdam. As the majestic tall ships and classic sailing vessels make their entrance, we will dwell among the fleet and have the best view of this breathtaking spectacle. The combination of traditional ships and vibrant water life makes for an unforgettable experience.

After the entry, we will moor near Amsterdam, where we will stay for two days. This gives you plenty of time to explore the city and the event at your own pace. You can visit the museum port, take part in the festivities, or spend a relaxing day in the city. Explore the canals, visit the famous museums or enjoy the city’s cosy atmosphere.

After two days full of impressions and activities, we raise the sails again and sail back towards Lelystad. This return trip offers the opportunity to relax on board and enjoy the impressive Sail Amsterdam. Feel the wind in your sails and look back on a wonderful trip full of unforgettable moments on the water.

Whether helping out on deck or enjoying the view from the ship, this trip is a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. With two days to explore the city and the event, you will have plenty of opportunity to experience Sail Amsterdam and its impressive ships up close.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle your bookings personally and therefore do not have an automatic booking system. This way, we can enable you to reserve individual places for a few days without any obligation. This allows you, for example, to arrange your holiday without someone stealing your place from under your nose. For this reason, we cannot keep track of the exact number of free places on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that plenty of free places are still available on all trips that are not marked as ‘fully booked’ or ‘Last Minute’. Call us or use our booking form if you want to know the exact number of places available.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. Shared cabins are normally divided by gender. Only on the Belle Amie and Seatrips Yachts do they sometimes have mixed cabins.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. However, there is only one menu per day on the programme. Therefore, please let us know during your booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

In principle, all our trips are suitable for both experienced and novice sailors. The professional crew on board will teach you everything you need to know. In some cases (e.g. on Atlantic crossings) initial sailing experience may be an advantage/requirement. In this case, this will be clearly indicated in the cruise description.
