Gdańsk from the Water: A 45‑Minute Luxury Catamaran Passage Past the Crane and Shipyard.
This is an intimate, 45-minute passage on an open, luxurious motor catamaran that carries up to 12 passengers along the Motława through Gdańsk’s most recognisable waterfront features. From the ship’s low profile you’ll pass the Crane, granaries on Granary Island, the Long Seacoast with its water gates and — toward the river mouth — views across Polish Hook to the Gdańsk Shipyard while recorded commentary in Polish, English and German narrates the monuments and history.

You board at the Green Bridge and settle into a compact, open deck where the city’s facades slide by at eye level: merchants’ granaries, the towering medieval Crane, low islands ringed by quay walls and, farther out, the expanse of the Vistula and a framed view of the Gdańsk Shipyard.
