    Lawrence and the best Frysian captain were are perfect hosts in a beatiful luxurious bought yesterday in SAIL Amsterdam. What an amazing amount of beatiful big sailing boats and myriads small and big boats as well. Our captain navigated us very carefully among all of them. While Lawrence was giving info on the boats but also history tips over AMS, with a tone of humour. We enjoyed the drinks on board and the great company of the other passagers as well. We will for sure recomend the crew!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

    Huge fun experience to sail past all the ships. Only the check-in was a drama. You get a time, arrive on time only to have to wait an hour before you could board at the reserved time. A huge queue as a result. And no explanation. I had the idea that the staff didn't have it under control either. No complaints about the care on board.

    Good hosts and pleasant cruise had. However, I expected us to sail through the ice port, i.e. past the sailing ships. Still, had a lot of fun.

    The whole experience was nice. A little short but quite good. The hostess was very nice and pleasant.

  • See the world’s most iconic tall ships up close on a stylish open boat cruise through the heart of SAIL Amsterdam, with a drink in hand, of course.

    Getting started

    The boat boards just a short walk from Amsterdam Central Station, so it’s super easy to get there. Try to arrive about 15 minutes early to check in smoothly. Just flash your mobile ticket at the pier. They might ask for ID, so keep it handy!

    What to expect

    This legendary festival only shows up every five years, filling Amsterdam’s waterways with tall ships, navy vessels, and tons of maritime flair.

    Features

    • Chic boat: Cruise for an hour on a sleek, electric-powered open boat with cushioned seats and full-on comfort.

    • Epic views: Catch close-up looks at towering tall ships, classic wooden boats, and colorful flotillas sailing right by.

    • Cheers included: Enjoy a drink on board—beer, wine, or soda—because SAIL’s even better with something in your hand.

    • Add-ons: Sail into sunset luxury with a skipper, hostess, and prime waterfront access offering uninterrupted views of ship parades and spectacular fireworks.
