A truly unique moment: the sluice gates at IJmuiden open, and the Tall Ships line up for the SAIL-In Parade towards Amsterdam. These magnificent ships from around the globe, joined by the Dutch Fleet, the Netherlands’ Sailing Heritage, thousands of smaller boats on the water, and hundreds of thousands of spectators on the shores, create a breathtaking spectacle. Be part of this spectacular parade aboard one of the official SAIL ships.
Experience SAIL during perhaps the most magical moment of the day: sunset. During the Sunset Cruise, you’ll sail through the evening hours past the Tall Ships, glowing in the golden light of the setting sun. The Orange Harbour (IJ Harbor) serves as the backdrop for this stunning spectacle, where the ships and the water blend into a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. During this enchanting "golden hour," you and your guests can enjoy breathtaking views from the water, creating unforgettable memories.
Sailers stand ready to warmly welcome you and your guests aboard their ship, moored at the nautical heart of SAIL. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be immersed in the maritime history of an international Tall Ship. Surrounded by neatly coiled ropes, gleaming pulleys, and polished wood, enjoy a delightful walking dinner. The view over the IJ, with the setting sun casting its glow to the west, is truly breathtaking, and the atmosphere around you is unparalleled.
This fantastic evening culminates with a front-row seat to the spectacular nighttime show, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
