A Closer Look at the Experience

Starting from either Gdansk or Sopot, the cruise begins with a warm welcome aboard the sleek sports motorboat. The two vessels used—the AXOPARE 28 in Sopot and the Nordkapp 660 in Gdansk—are designed to combine comfort and performance. You’re in expert hands with a knowledgeable skipper, who will take you on a tour tailored to your preferences.

The initial acceleration is sure to get your blood pumping as the boat quickly leaves the crowded marina behind. The wind in your hair and salty breeze create an immediate sense of freedom. You might find yourself eagerly pointing out interesting features along the coastline or asking to visit a secluded cove. The freedom to design your route is what makes this experience stand out.

One of the undeniable highlights is the chance to see Poland’s coast from a different perspective. As you glide past hidden coves and beaches, your skipper can point out notable landmarks or take you closer to the Hel Peninsula and Jastarnia—famous for their natural beauty and seaside charm. The boat’s speed makes the ride exhilarating, especially for adrenaline lovers. Still, the boat’s design also allows for serene moments—perfect for watching the sunset or simply enjoying the tranquility of the open sea.

Throughout the trip, a pair of Prosecco bottles adds a touch of luxury, making the cruise feel like a special celebration. The inclusion of life jackets ensures safety, and after the cruise, the boat is cleaned thoroughly—an attention to detail that reflects the quality of the service.

The duration of 2 hours means you get a substantial taste of the coast without feeling rushed. It’s a well-balanced experience—long enough to see notable sights and feel the thrill of speed, yet short enough to fit into most travel itineraries comfortably.

Authenticity and Authentic Encounters

Guests consistently comment on the knowledgeable guides who make the cruise informative and engaging. One review highlights how the skipper’s local insights made the trip more meaningful. Another mentioned the “stunning views” that they wouldn’t have seen from land—highlighting the cruise’s value as a unique vantage point.

The privacy aspect also receives praise. Unlike crowded boat tours, this private cruise allows for relaxed conversations, intimate celebrations, or simply enjoying the scenery in peace. It’s an experience that feels tailored for your group—whether for a romantic outing or a fun gathering with friends.

What’s Not Included

While the cruise itself is comprehensive, there are a couple of extras you might consider. Entrance to the Sopot Pier costs 10 PLN per person if you wish to explore before or after the cruise. Plus, extra drinks beyond the included Prosecco aren’t provided, so feel free to bring your own if you want more variety.

If you opt for the Gdansk route, you’ll likely enjoy views of the historic shipyard and waterfront. In Sopot, the sail includes the famous pier and the sweeping coastline.
