Adventurous Sailing Holidays

Are you a true sailing fan and are you dreaming about a sailing holiday onboard the Clipper Stad Amsterdam? We regularly organise adventurous sailing holidays, city sailing trips and in April and December we sail across the Atlantic and you can join our crew.

For the coming years however, Clipper Stad Amsterdam has a different but promising sailing schedule. We will offer a few trips in Northern Europe this spring. In August 2020, our tallship will be the flagship of SAIL Amsterdam again. After Sail Amsterdam she will embark on a unique 2-year world tour.

Even when you have very little sailing experience and would like to pitch in, experience life at sea and learn how to sail the clipper during your trip this is a perfect opportunity!

Join our crew

The crew works in three shift watches. There’s a red watch (midday to four PM and midnight to four AM), a white watch (four to eight PM and AM) and a blue watch (eight PM to midnight and eight AM to midday). You can indicate your preference for a particular watch.

Under the supervision of the helmsman, you will join the quartermaster and a party of two (or more) crew.

Our crew will be happy to teach you the basics of sailing on a squarerigged three-master and explain the various sailing manoeuvres and the names of the sails and rigging.

Meals and accomodation

Meals are taken together with the crew in the clipper’s longroom and the captain offers regular updates on the ship’s progress, informing you of how many sea miles are left to sail and other nautical points of interest.

There are 14 cabins available for 1, 2 or 3 passengers.

Travel stories

The endless space at sea, the rhythm of red, white and blue watch duty, the dolphins swimming along the side, sometimes even whales to see ... it will make you forget everyday life. Two guests joining on an adventurous crossing earlier like to share their experience with you!
