SAIL 2025
Experience SAIL 2025 at art’otel Amsterdam, the ultimate place to stay and celebrate.

SAIL Amsterdam
Every five years, Amsterdam welcomes SAIL, one of the world’s most spectacular maritime events, as a grand fleet of historic and modern ships glides through the IJ. In August 2025, the city will host the tenth edition of SAIL, marking a triple celebration—50 years of SAIL, 750 years of Amsterdam, and an unforgettable showcase of nautical heritage.


A little bit about the Legacy
SAIL Amsterdam first set sail in 1975, celebrating the city’s historic connection to the sea and its centuries-old role as a global trading hub. Over the years, it has grown into a world-renowned spectacle, attracting millions of visitors to witness majestic Tall Ships, naval vessels, and cultural performances that bring Amsterdam’s maritime history to life.


Where Art Meets Ocean
As the city transforms into a vibrant maritime hub, art’otel Amsterdam will be the ultimate place to stay, celebrate, and soak up the excitement. Steps away from Amsterdam’s central waterways, our design-led hotel blends art, culture, and hospitality, making it the perfect base for SAIL. Whether you’re admiring the ships from a prime location or unwinding in our creative spaces, we’ll bring the spirit of SAIL to life with exclusive experiences and artistic activations.


Expect the unexpected
While our SAIL Amsterdam 2025 activation is still under wraps, expect an exciting program inspired by the city’s rich maritime heritage. Stay tuned as we reveal how art’otel Amsterdam will make this iconic event truly unforgettable.
