In 2025, we will celebrate the 750th anniversary of our capital with the 10th edition of SAIL Amsterdam. Over 800 ships, their crew members and more than 2 million visitors from all over the world will come together to celebrate nautical history and different world views. A party for everyone, for Holland Waterland, connecting young and old from all cultures. Get on board & make a wave!

Registration and selection

Registration will open in November 2024. The organisation of SAIL Amsterdam 2025 will determine the allocation of berths and reserves the right to refuse applications. In exceptional cases, a ‘wildcard’ may be granted to vessels that do not fully meet the criteria. No correspondence will be entered into regarding rejections or exceptions.
