The Netherlands: Ocean Sailing - the Stad Amsterdam: Its all about adventurous sailing

the Stad Amsterdam

Each year, the Clipper Stad Amsterdam makes a number of adventurous sailing trips. In April and December, we sail across the Atlantic, in the summer, the tall ship Stad Amsterdam sails the Mediterranean, the Bay of Biscay and the North Sea to IJmuiden, her port of registry.


 Are you a true sailing enthusiast and would you like to sail along on our ship? Why not enlist? But even if you have little sailing experience and would like to pitch in, you are most welcome. You could even receive sailing training. All options are open on these trips, but there are no obligations.

On Monday April 21st you are welcome to come aboard the Clipper Stad Amsterdam in the  city of Boston (USA), the capital of the state of Massachusetts and unofficially also of New England.

The long non-stop crossing to the Spanish town Malaga will start the next morning.

The true sailing enthusiast will for sure get what he or she is looking for. The dolphins tumbling near the ship’s bow, the beautiful clouds, the colorful rainbows, the sun's rise and fall but also the peace and freedom of the open sea will make you relive the old days. An unique chance to admire the Clipper in all her glory.
We expect to arrive in Malaga three weeks later on the early morning of May 12th.

This sixth largest city of Spain at the Mediterranean Sea and at the Costa del Sol, known for its tourism, is only 100 kilometers away from the Strait of Gibraltar. Surrounded by mountains and crossed by two rivers, this city is also well worth visiting. From the airport, eight kilometers southwest of Malaga, it is most likely that you will leave on a flight home which also means the end of a no doubt unforgettable sailing experience. Of course you can also sail with us for another week to Monaco on the French Riviera.
