Welcome to DelfSail 2024!
Delfzijl welcomes the world in June for an unforgettable experience.
In June 2024, harbour city Delfzijl in the north of The Netherlands will transform into a vibrant centre of maritime celebrations with DelfSail 2024. Since its first edition in 1986, DelfSail has developed into a leading sail event attracting visitors and crews from all over the world. Located right at the centre of Delfzijl, DelfSail offers a unique experience where the entire city centre joins in the celebrations.
Free entry and hospitality are key
From 13 to 16 June, DelfSail’s quays are open to all, with no entrance fee. Visitors can enjoy the warm welcome and informal, hospitable atmosphere that characterise the event.
Innovation and sustainability at the forefront
This year, DelfSail goes beyond celebrating maritime traditions by introducing a ‘sustainability square’. This puts the focus on working together towards a cleaner and more sustainable world, in line with our green innovation initiatives.
Culture, entertainment and inclusiveness
Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers, DelfSail offers a varied programme that connects cultures and includes entertainment from both nationally renowned artists and regional crowd-pleasers. The event ensures inclusivity, with a special focus on vulnerable groups.
Pride of the North
DelfSail is more than an event; it is a proud symbol of Delfzijl and the entire North. A place where stories come to life, friendships are forged and the sea brings people together.
