Sail Amsterdam 2025
From August 20 to 24, Amsterdam will again be the home base for the Sail. During this event, dozens of impressive Tall Ships and hundreds of smaller historic vessels can be viewed freely by the public for five days. During Sail 2025, the ships of Rederij Mokum can be booked all day long for private sailing trips, events and company outings.
Sail Amsterdam only takes place once every five years. Unfortunately, the 10th edition in 2020 was canceled due to corona. We will catch up on this twice in 2025.

History of Sail Amsterdam
Sail Amsterdam is a 5-yearly, multi-day maritime event in Amsterdam. It is set up around an armada of monumental sea-going sailing ships, which, after a parade through the North Sea Canal, moor for a few days along the IJ quay and in the major IJ ports.
The event was first held in August 1975 in honor of the celebration of the 700th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, in a sense following on from the First Dutch Maritime Exhibition in Amsterdam held in 1913, where could also visit the exhibited ships. The idea was that this would allow attention to be focused on the port and the city, and sea-going sailing ships from all over the world were invited to the ‘Sail Amsterdam 700’ event.
After the success of ‘Sail Amsterdam 700’ it was decided to organize another Sail Amsterdam in 1980. To keep the organization on the right track, the permanent organization Stichting Sail Amsterdam (SSA) was founded in 1977. Since then, the SSA has managed to organize an event every 5 years.
