Highlights
  • Gdansk Shipyard - The cruise starts from the post-shipyard area - from the former Imperial Shipyard, where the production of u-boats took place. And right next to the existing shipbuilding industry - characteristic Gdansk cranes, specialized ships, exclusive yachts and a unique industrial atmosphere.
  • Motlawa River Embankment (Dlugie Pobrzeze) - Cruising along the long Motlawa river Embankment we will see the remains of the wall of the Teutonic Castle with The Swan tower, Water Gates leading to the city, including the famous Crane from 15th century, the most beautiful of the gates - the St. Mary’s Gate and the oldest gate - the Green Gate.
  • Ołowianka B&B - Olowianka Island - The functional use of the island has changed over the years. At present, on the island, we will see the Polish Baltic Philharmonic, the Royal Granary, the National Maritime Museum and the of Stonemason’s Bridge.

Granary Island - The Green Bridge connects the main part of the old town with the Granary Island. It is not difficult to guess what was located on the island given the name(the island had a storehouse where all the goods were kept). Currently, on the Island, we will see, among others remains of old granaries, including the best preserved granary Blue Lamb and their modern incarnation (the reconstruction of the Island after the Second World War).

Galley boat tour gives a different perspective on the historical value of the Main City. With us you will see unique places not available for walkers.

  • Cozy blanket provided to keep you warm during the tour.

Additional Information

Experience the awe-inspiring sight of the sunset framed by the shipyard cranes. Explore Gdańsk from the waterways on a replica of a Polish river vessel that’s been in use for over four centuries. A cozy, wooden 12-seat boat will transport you to locations unreachable by larger vessels while the limited capacity ensures you a comfortable and exclusive experience. The journey will commence from the historic Gdańsk Shipyard areas which hadn’t permitted visitors for more than 170 years. Following this, you’ll navigate Motława, the heart of the Old Town, and sightsee numerous landmarks such as the ruins of the Teutonic castle, city water gates, the renowned wooden crane from the 15th century, and quaint old apartment buildings amidst modern settings. Your voyage will also introduce you to the monuments and modern architecture of Ołowianka Island and Granary Island. Additionally, this adventure presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a close inspection of specialist ships and Gdańsk cranes.

Sunset - The whole tour…. Even without the sunset, the tour itself was great. Of course the sun is not on eveyone’s hand.

Great way to get a different view of Gdańsk - Took the Sunset trip this evening, while the clouds got in the way a bit it didn’t distract from the experience. A lovely way to see parts of the docks and into the city. Thoroughly recommended. We were on boat 5 and our guide was excellent.

Memorabilia - Amazing from start to finish, regardless of the loud Essex chav in front of us. I'd not hesitate to book again if I was ever to return to Gdansk

Nice evening excursion - Our guide was very entertaining and informative. Unfortunately I can't remember his name. Everyone was very nice and it was very familiar. I particularly liked the little details on the boats - the kerosene lamp, umbrellas and blankets. Everything was thought of. Thank you for the lovely trip.

An unexpected emotion - An exciting moment to watch the sun go down on the construction sites in total silence, lulled by the water. Interesting and very satisfying tour in terms of duration, stories about the history and customs of Poland and the construction sites in particular (but not only) and the illuminated city with its nightlife seen from the river is scenic. I highly recommend it!

Very enjoyable trip! - The sunset cruise was excellent, it was more than I expected to be honest. The live guide, who told us about history while moving with boat was clear and informative! We saw a little bit of sunset, because of clouds we didn't see that much, but i wasn't the organizer's fault. They tried to get the trip as comfortable as possible. I enjoyed the trip very much!

In good weather - nice boat trip - A lovely boat trip through Gdansk in the evening. Unfortunately it rained the whole time and despite having an umbrella you got pretty wet. Highly recommended if the weather is good.
