Description

The cruise starts with the lock through one of the locks. Then we sail to the sea lock, which is under construction, where we sail past the work. Then along the Noordersluis and a bit into the drainage canal, where the salt/freshwater barrier will be constructed.

Due to the Coronavirus, a maximum of 40 people per canal can go on for the time being.

The boat departs and arrives at the berth at the “Dankzij Terminal” at Sluisplein No. 78 called “Kop van de haven“. The mooring is near the fishing monument of the man with the lantern. View the map on the contact page.

FAQ
What route do you sail?

You can find more information about all our regular boat tours on our Boat Tours page. If you rent the entire boat for a group, there are a number of routes we can follow in consultation with you. Please have a look at our Packages as well.

How many people fit on the boat?

Our boat can accommodate up to 100 passengers.

Where do the boat tours depart and arrive?

Our departure and arrival point is located in the port of IJmuiden, near the ‘Dankzij Terminal’. It is located on the head of the port, on the Sluisplein. Directions can be found on the contact page.

Could I become seasick?

 

Can I work for you?

 

Could I become seasick?

Although we are the only boat tour company in the Netherlands that sails on the North Sea, we only do so when weather permits. We cannot guarantee that you will not become seasick, but it is very rare. If you are particularly prone to seasickness, it might be advisable to take medication before departure. But again, the chance of seasickness is really very low.

Is it possible that a booked trip will be cancelled?

Yes, unfortunately it is possible that you have made a reservation and paid for the tickets, but we have to decide to cancel the trip. There can be different reasons for this. We will let you know as soon as possible and will of course refund the reservation fee you paid. To put it in official terms:

‘IJmuidense Rondvaart Maatschappij BV reserves the right to cancel a trip when there are insufficient bookings (less than the minimum number listed for the trip, or less than 20) a week before departure, or because of unforeseen circumstances. In the case of cancellation by IJmuidense Rondvaart Maatschappij BV, we have no further obligations beyond refunding the paid ticket and booking fees. These are refunded as soon as possible.’
