Laura – Lithuania

The tour was amazing. It was really nice to sail with such small boat, we could sail under lowest bridges and see places that is not that visible by just walking. The guide told all interesting facts about the city and history. The meeting point is a bit far away but that wasn't a problem

Full description

Discover Gdańsk from the water on board a replica of a Polish river ship used for over 400 years. Used mainly in the 18th century, this intimate, wooden, and spacious 12-seater boat will take you to places large ships are unable to go and thanks to the low number of passengers, you'll feel at ease and special.

Start the cruise from the former Gdańsk Shipyard that once was a workplace for nearly 18,000 people and unavailable to visitors for over 170 years. Gdansk Shipyard was established after 1945 in place of the former German shipyards. It was here that the "Solidarity" movement began in 1980, leading to the fall of communism in Poland.

Next, cruise on Motława River in the center of the Old Town. You’ll see many tourist attractions, including the ruins of the Teutonic castle, water gates leading to the city, the famous wooden crane from the 15th century, charming old tenement houses, and their new setting.

Follow a route that will also show you monuments and new buildings of Ołowianka and the Granary Island. This trip is also a unique and only opportunity to see up close specialist vessels, Gdansk port cranes that are the symbol of the city, and the internal quay of the Port of Gdansk.

I loved this little boat trip! The meeting point is a bit of a walk from old town, but wasn’t a problem, and turned out to be relevant to the tour due to its history. There was a little bar for us to purchase some drinks to take on the boat with us - we opted for Prosecco. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Umbrellas and blankets for our comfort were included. The boat tour ended close to the centre which was handy. Great value for money and I’d 100% recommend to anyone visiting Gdansk.
