Would you like to get to know the sport of rowing, or do you already have rowing experience and are you looking for a fun rowing club where you can also sail? Then come to De Hoop; a lively association with a varied membership across all age categories. We offer both competitive, recreational and touring rowers and host a large youth section. We are the proud owners of an elegant fleet and the most beautiful terrace on the Amstel river, a vibrant club life, and for sailing enthusiasts, four of our own sailing boats -polyvalks - in Vinkeveen.
We welcome you as a member!

NOTES.
Sweep rowing: For the B2 qualification, you row in a 4+ and or the B3 in a two-seater.
Sculling: For the S2 qualification, you row in a C1x and for the S3 qualification, in a skiff.
To keep track of the number of rowers for a Sunday exam slot, we ask you to sign up in advance by emailing nemaxe @karzvdehoop.nl, mentioning your rowing CV and the type of boat you want to row in.
Membership Fee
In the first year of membership, a proportional part of the membership fee is paid (depending on the remaining number of months in the calendar year) and in addition to the membership fee, the compulsory KNRB membership, you are also required to pay a one-off signing-up fee and a deposit for the access tag, after which, as a new member, you will receive a voucher of €25 towards the purchase of the club rowing outfits at Roeigoed. See further under membership fee for more information.
Amsterdam residents in possession of a city pass can also become members. The membership fee is then partly paid by the City of Amsterdam. If you are in possession of a city pass and would like to become a member of De Hoop, please send an e-mail to eitartsinimdanedel @karzvdehoop.nl
Activities
New members are immediately invited to attend all our association’s activities (please see the Agenda), including a twice-yearly new member dinner, weekly rowing (Equipe) and team dinners.
