International Crews

The ‘Amstelbeker’ is an annual regatta, organized by the K.A.R.&Z.V. ‘De Hoop’ and K.N.S.R.B.. The eight best female and eight best male rowers from every participating boat club compete for the glory of their club during the regatta. The regatta focuses on the spirit of club rowing and a healthy rivalry. Only eights compete at this regatta! Racing at the Amstelbeker is on a knock-out basis, with crews rowing two abreast over a 750 meters long course across the river Amstel. This competition in the heart of Amsterdam is a rowing event you don’t want to miss. The winners in their respective categories end up competing with each other. The women compete to win the Fortunacup and the men compete to win the Palmcup.

The Amstelbeker is a real treat for all rowing enthusiasts. Spectators can watch the races from the terrace of ‘De Hoop’ boat club, while enjoying refreshments and soaking in the atmosphere. The Dutch rowing community is unique and de Amstelbeker provides a perfect platform to experience it.
