St. Petersburg: NO CARS - JUST BOATS
"It doesn't look like this from a car window", - this will be your first impression of St. Petersburg river and canal boat tour.
From the very foundation the city was built on water - it's spread out over numerous islands in the delta of the Neva river. Such location frequently prompts the nickname "the city of 101 islands". Over the centuries numerous bridges were built to connect these islands across the various tributaries of the Neva and the city's many canals (Moika, Fontanka, Groboyedov canal, etc.)
In the early years of St. Petersburg the city dwellers made their way around the city by these waterways, as indeed was planned by the city's founder Peter the Great. Like its water bound sisters, Amsterdam and Venice, St. Petersburg is located on a network of canals and rivers that are the life-blood of the city, the combination of the architecture and water in St. Petersburg has a special charm. The first mansions of the Russian nobility appeared along the waterways, which still offer a unique glimpse at the history of Russian naval capital.
We invite you to explore the beauty of St. Petersburg during a private boat tour. Unlike larger tour boats that cannot navigate smaller rivers and canals, chartering a small boat is definitely advantageous and will allow you to explore some off-the-beaten-track areas of St. Petersburg.
We offer you a choice of boat trips on the rivers and canals, the Neva river and down to the Gulf of Finland. Take a relaxing cruise aboard a comfortable powerboat or a unique retro boat. It's possible to cater snacks and drinks on board. Upon your wish, you can hire a professional tour guide and during your leisurely tour listen to an informative narration covering the history of St. Petersburg and present-day sights of interest. Our bigger boats offer facilities for corporate events, banquets, meetings and parties.
