SAIL 2025 to be admired for the first time in Haarlemmermeer

Thanks to the merger with the former municipality of Haarlemmerliede en Spaarnwoude in 2019, Haarlemmermeer is now officially part of the SAIL area. This means you can admire the boat parade up close in Haarlemmermeer this year as well. 

Ships like you've never seen before 

The SAIL-In Parade is more than just a parade. It's an impressive display of sailing ships from all corners of the world, accompanied by countless other vessels. From classic motor vessels to beautiful sloops and robust naval vessels, each ship has its own story and character. Together, they form a living tribute to maritime history. For lovers of water, ships, culture, and photography, this is a parade you won't want to miss.
