The 2023 sailing season is in full swing!
Every weekend one of our boats sails from Amsterdam IJburg to Pampus Fortress Island, where you can discover the history of this special world heritage site and enjoy coffee, lunch or a drink. The ferry service runs every Saturday and Sunday. From May 4 to September 1 there are additional departures on Thursdays and Fridays. The boat takes about 45 minutes and you have 2.5 hours to discover the island before sailing back.

Activities on Pampus
Fort Island Pampus is located in the IJmeer between Amsterdam and Muiden. It was built more than 125 years ago as a fortress to protect access to Amsterdam. The island is part of the New Dutch Waterline and the Defense Line of Amsterdam (UNESCO World Heritage List). During your visit, discover everything about life on the island and where the term “being in front of Pampus” comes from.
Discover the castle at your own pace with an audio tour. Follow the Knight Route, Tower Route or the Garden Tour. The audio tour will be arranged on site after the ferry arrival. Contact us to book a private guide or themed tour.
Be enchanted by the beech foliage, stroll through the special gardens around the Muiderslot and learn more about forgotten vegetables and herbs that were used to prepare special dishes for centuries, and visit the 17th century plum orchard.
Organize a group outing to the castle with family, friends or colleagues. Create your own program with an arrangement of coffee & tea, pastries, high tea, drinks, lunch or dinner on board!
