THE VESSEL

Private and customizable

This is a dedicated, private charter (rejs na wyłączność) for up to eight people with the option to choose your own route and to order catering and drinks for celebrations such as birthdays, bachelor/ette parties, photo sessions, or proposals.

THE SIGHTS

A waterline tour of Gdańsk’s landmarks

From historic granaries and medieval gates to modern waterfront museums, the recommended route threads past signature city markers on the Motława and Nowa Motława, giving a compact survey of Gdańsk’s maritime and trading heritage.

What the day feels like

What the cruise feels like

You board a small, sheltered catamaran for a roughly 55‑minute loop on the Motława. With no engine roar and an electric drive, conversation carries across the deck as an experienced skipper pilots you past bridges, historic gates and the granary island. The boat is fitted with comforts—seats, pillows and blankets—and a minibar and radio are available; groups can shape the itinerary and add catering before departure.

Eco‑minded visitorsAppeals to travelers who prioritize low‑impact outings, since the boat is solar‑powered and electric.
