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.

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.’

Amazing experience! Beautiful view and also doable in bad weather due to the amount of courtyards. Recommended!

Surprisingly fun! The view is great and the captain gives a lot of nice information. Worth repeating.

Had a wonderful trip on the Koning Emma. Super friendly and helpful crew and captain. So much to see and clear explanations. Really worth coming to IJmuiden for this.
