Holland is rich in water. There are always special events taking place on the water including sailing events such as Sail Amsterdam and Sail Den Helder.
We’d love to visit these special events with you. The ships from Rederij Vooruit are perfect for a unique and memorable cruise along with Tall Ships, old fishing boats and all the beauty the Dutch waters have to offer.

Sailing races during a sailing event
Sailing races are organized during the various sailing events. And of course the Rederij Vooruit ships are perfectly suited to competing in these sailing races. Go to our sailing races page to view all of our sailing race packages. These packages are for both groups and individual travelers.
You can organize your own sailing race during a sailing event if your group contains more than 20 people. We will use two or more ships for your group. We’ll agree on a predetermined route. Who will sail across the finish line first? We’ll gladly send you more information about sailing events and races or you can call us at +31 (0)515-531485 for availability.
