Electric test sailing at Sustainable Sailing Days
June 29-30
Amsterdam
16 years
Exclusively on the weekend of Seaport Days, you can test sail about 20 boats. The owners are part of the Coalition Duurzaam Varen (Sustainable Sailing Coalition) and can tell you all about non-fossil sailing. You can experience it on the water and on shore, because during the Sustainable Sailing Days the companies and organizations involved will pitch their tents in a real promotional village.
Zeehavendagen Amsterdam is hosting the largest electric boating event in the Netherlands for two days. The whole weekend is dedicated to increasing awareness of electric boating. Various parties from the sustainable boating segment will show their products and solutions. For people with a small purse or a somewhat larger budget, for beginners and very experienced water sports enthusiasts. Much will be discussed at the various stands and during the information sessions: electric motors, (portable) batteries, charging options, options for converting existing boats and much more.
Emission-free in 2030
During Seaport Days, the City of Amsterdam will explain its policy on Amsterdam Emission Free 2030 and discuss its charging strategy. New boats on Amsterdam's inland waterways must be electrically powered from January 1, 2025. Existing boat owners are subject to a transitional arrangement. These will have 5 more years to switch or convert.
Experience electric boating
The Duurzaam Varen Dagen (Sustainable Sailing Days) are mainly intended to experience for yourself how nice electric and sustainable sailing really is. Whether small open boats or larger ships with very powerful electric engines, for slow or fast sailing, there is a good solution for most types of recreation on the water.
