What is SAIL Amsterdam?
SAIL Amsterdam returns in 2025 with a sea-sized celebration! This legendary maritime festival—held once every five years—brings hundreds of tall ships into Amsterdam’s harbor. Expect five days of dazzling parades, live maritime demonstrations, fireworks, concerts, and more. Bonus? It’s the 10th edition, SAIL’s 50th anniversary, and the city’s 750th birthday, with some of the biggest ships from over 25 countries, making their appearance. It’s Europe’s biggest free nautical event, and this one’s set to make waves!
Check out exciting highlights like the SAIL-In Parade, evening concerts, live performances, themed cruises, fireworks shows, and sustainability-focused workshops!
