In 2025 we will celebrate the 750th anniversary of our capital with the 10th edition of SAIL Amsterdam. Dozens of tall ships, hundreds of historic ships, crew members from all over the world and millions of visitors will come together to celebrate nautical history and different world views. A party for everyone, for the Netherlands Waterland, which connects young and old from all cultures. Step aboard & make a wave!
IJland will be renamed the Sail Experience 2025. A temporary harbour will be built around the sunny terrace, where ships will be ready to board towards the Oranje-haven.
After you have parked near IJland (whether or not in reserved places), your personal hostess will receive the guests on the sunny terrace, the exclusive indoor hall or your personal 'area' in the festival garden for a snack and a drink, whether or not in combination with a lunch, BBQ Experience or Walking Dinner. At the agreed time, your ship will be ready for the impressive trip to and through the Oranje Haven.
After the tour there is the opportunity for a closing drink or dinner, after which we say goodbye to our guests.
All ships of Rederij Nassau, Amsterdam Boats and Amsterdam Boat Experience are electrically powered. You do not hear the engine and are not bothered by unpleasant odors! All ships have one or more toilets on board. In addition to a skipper, there is always at least 1 host or hostess on board to provide the guests with a drink and snacks.

ParkingParking is FREE in the immediate vicinity of IJland. However, all of Amsterdam knows this and most places will be occupied. That is why we have purchased guaranteed parking spaces at nearby companies. These parking spaces will be guarded by SAIL Experience.
The cost of a guaranteed, guarded parking space is €25 per car, per half day. On the day itself, parking tickets can be purchased for €30, if the free spaces are no longer available.
We advise you to encourage your guests to carpool as much as possible, as parking spaces are not unlimited.
Bus transportAre you coming by coach? Then you can get off right outside the door!
We have a limited number of bus parking spaces available. The costs for a bus parking space are €40 per bus, per half day. This includes 2 drinks and a meal for the waiting driver!
Public transport
IJland is easily accessible by public transport from Station Noord and Zaandam. Buses 391 and 394 (Zaandam Station/Zaanse Schans<-> Amsterdam CS/Noorderpark) stop at the Keerkringpark stop, just a 200-metre walk from IJland.
Your own areaWhen booking additional Hospitality, we will exclusively reserve your own area in the festival garden.
Under and around the stretch tent, various 'living rooms' and 'lounges' will be set up based on occupancy. The coffee truck, bar, food court and cocktail bar are within easy reach, but the service will of course provide your guests with a drink!
LockersSpace on the ships is precious and often there is no room for wardrobe and bags. That is why you can use the locker facilities at IJland.
When purchasing a hospitality package, locker facilities are included, for other guests a one-off rate of €2 per locker applies.
All amounts mentioned on this website are per person, unless stated otherwise, and exclusive of VAT.
Allowances, such as contributions to the SAIL Amsterdam Foundation and entertainment tax are included
