SAIL 2025 is over, but the memories will stay with us.
Thank you to everyone who sailed with us and made this event so special.

✨ Until the ships return in 2030, we’ll see you on the canals.

Boat during SAIL 2025. During SAIL we also sailed along the tall ships in Amsterdam with our boat tour.

Not every moment of SAIL was fireworks.
Some of the most magical were quiet: golden hour on the water, sails glowing like lanterns, the city hushed in awe.

✨ Sometimes silence speaks louder.

Locals know evening sails are the most magical ✨
Tall ships glowing at night, Amsterdam all lit up… and tonight at 21:00 is the very last SAIL 2025 evening tour. ⛵

Watching SAIL from the quay is fun. Watching it from the water is unforgettable.

Ten years ago, the canals were packed for SAIL. The cheers, the silence as ships passed, the sense of history sailing right in front of you.
It’s time again.

Locals always book SAIL early… now you know why. The very last spot for our SAIL Boat Tour is Saturday at 21:00.

SAIL isn’t just a beautiful parade of ships, it’s a living piece of Dutch history.
Every five years, the city’s harbor turns into a floating museum of naval heritage and international connection.

Land, rooftop, or on a boat?

Where would you watch the Sail-In from?

After 10 years, SAIL is returning to Amsterdam. The harbor will transform into a moving museum, and the countdown has begun.

Have you ever seen hundreds of tall ships sail into one harbor?
This August, SAIL will fill Amsterdam’s waterfront with glowing masts and sails at sunset.
If you could see it from anywhere, where would you watch from?

Would you get married on a boat?
Just you two, floating through Amsterdam with the city lit up around you.
Quiet, kind of magical.
Tag someone who’d be into that.

A couple sits in the front of a small boat on the Prinsengracht canal in Amsterdam. The man just proposed to his girlfriend. In the foreground there's a small bouquet of red roses. The woman is smiling, clearly just having said yes. Behind them, classic Amsterdam houses and soft evening light set the scene. The moment feels quiet and intimate.

If your dog planned a day out in Amsterdam, which activity would they pick?
A) Sniff every tree in Vondelpark
B) Bark at every single bike
C) Nap on a canal boat like royalty
D) Steal fries at the café
(You can only pick one, even if your dog would do all four.)

A fluffy dog sitting on its owners lap on the seat of a small boat in Amsterdam, ears flopping in the breeze. The canal sparkles in the background, with leafy trees and bikes lined up along the edge. The dog looks completely content.

What’s one travel thing you booked and thought, “Yep, that was absolutely worth it”?
Big or small. I’m collecting the feel-good ones today.

Ever gone with the cheaper option while traveling, and immediately regretted it?
I want to hear the full chaos: hotel horror stories, tours gone wrong, mystery meat dinners. Go.

You’ve got a boat in Amsterdam to yourself for 90 minutes.
What would you bring?
Music? Snacks? A book? Nothing?
Genuinely curious what you would do.

View from the front of a small private boat cruising through a quiet Amsterdam canal at golden hour. The sun casts a warm glow on the water, with soft ripples, tree-lined banks, and historic buildings reflecting in the canal. A bottle of sparkling wine, three glasses, and a simple snack plate sit on a wooden table in the foreground.

New family in town 🐣
Two proud geese and their fuzzy goslings on a quiet grass-top stroll by the canal.
Nature’s little surprises are everywhere—if you pause to notice.
Do you stop to smile at tiny waddling feet too?

Found: one very busy goose giving himself a full spa day under a quiet canal bridge.
It’s these soft, blink-and-you-miss-it moments that stick with you long after the boat docks.
Do you notice more when you slow down?

Soft ripples and a swan by a willow capture Amsterdam's timeless charm in a fleeting moment. Our peaceful canal tours create lasting memories.

When did you last pause to watch the water?
