The perfect way to view Außenalster - The small boat that were sailed on was absolutely perfect. The time was exactly 2 hours, Henning was accommodating, engaging and flexible. We had things explained and the fact there was no set route meant Henning took advantage of the conditions

A Beautiful and Relaxing Sailing Experience - This was such a wonderful experience. My sister and I really enjoyed it and the sailing trip was so relaxing. The people hosting this were very communicative and flexible, especially since thunderstorms were forecasted when we orginally booked. Highly recommend to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the Alster!!! 10 out of 10 experience!!! Would go again the next time we are in Hamburg!

Great Time Sailing the Alster! - Sailing Lake Alster in Hamburg was a perfect five-star experience. Great communication leading up to the event, a knowledgeable captain, and stunning scenery made for what seems like a tranquil getaway from the city despite the lake being right in the heart of the city center. A must-do for Hamburg visitors.

Great experience in general - Barca boats in Hamburg in general have the highest quality services taking into consideration the cost factor so the cost-benefit ratio is really good. The staff are super nice they speak English and German and the sailing experience was great as well. I’d love to book again in the future.

A pleasant evening on the Alster - It was a pleasant evening on the water. Unfortunately, there was not much wind for our time and it was more of floating on the Alster and less of sailing, but I enjoy being on the water and thought it was relaxing. This is not a tour, which is clear in the description, but the captain did try to point out some interesting buildings/areas to us and answered questions. We were offered a different day with better sailing weather, but we weren’t in town for that long.
