Cruise IJmuiden
€ 692,00 incl. crew
Our “Haven & Noordzee”cruise is an educational and adventurous cruise through the ports of IJmuiden and, weather permitting, along the North Sea coast. The tour takes us past the fish auction, the lifeboats, the fishing ships, the German submarine bunker from the Second World War and the nautical control tower.
An adventurous trip along ports and the North Sea
The tour continues along Fort Island, the locks of IJmuiden, Hoogovens and the piers, after which we finally arrive at the vast North Sea. In favorable weather we sail into the North Sea, in the direction of Zandvoort or Wijk aan Zee. During the voyage, the skipper provides an explanation of the ins and outs in the ports. The boat trip takes about an hour. Upon return, a diploma is awarded on behalf of Neptune.
The cruise season runs all year round with restrictions in the winter season.
From April to October there are one or two cruises almost daily. A cruise takes about an hour.
Due to the Coronavirus, a maximum of 60 people per canal can be taken on for the time being.
The rate is € 12.50 per person, but (max. 4) children up to and including 5 years old can join for free.
The boat departs and arrives at the berth at the “Dankzij Terminal” at Sluisplein No. 78 or the so-called “Kop van de harbour”. The mooring is at the fisherman’s monument of the man with the lantern. View the map on the contact page.
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.
Our boat can accommodate up to 100 passengers.
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?
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.
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.’
