Speedboat Crosswind 27 Striker

Every night on the Neva River in St. Petersburg, the bridges are raised. This is a unique spectacle, possible only here, in the former Imperial capital.

We'll admire the night city from the water, see the cruiser 'Aurora' in night illumination, and together with a hundred other vessels, we'll see how the Palace, Annunciation, and Trinity bridges are raised.

This voyage will reveal a different side of St. Petersburg to you, where you'll feel the unhurried rhythm of the city and appreciate its modern scale.

We'll travel along the greenest and most prestigious islands of St. Petersburg. The elite Krestovsky Island, the park-island Yelagin, Kamenny Island with its residences, the newly developed Petrovskaya Spit, we'll enter the Gulf of Finland and look at the Gazprom skyscraper, and then make a circle through the central, ceremonial part of the city, and return to the starting point.

In 2 hours, we will navigate the winding canals, providing us with a unique perspective of the prosperous, industrial, and residential quarters of the historic city. Following our canal exploration, we will emerge onto the expansive waters of the Neva River. Here, we will be greeted by the broadest stretch of the river, offering panoramic views of landmarks such as the iconic Peter and Paul Fortress, the Admiralty, the Spit of Vasilievsky Island, and the Winter Palace. Prepare for a journey filled with picturesque vistas and historical wonders.

Voyage for those who want to see everything. In three hours, we'll see all of St. Petersburg: from the narrow canals of the center and the ceremonial Neva, to the Gulf of Finland, the former industrial outskirts, and elite modern districts. The most comprehensive route around the city.

Against the current of the Neva, we'll travel through all of St. Petersburg, go beyond the city limits, and stop at the museum of wooden architecture, where a 25-domed wooden church stands.

We'll sail through all layers of the city: we'll see palaces, extremely expensive houses, old industrial St. Petersburg, residential areas, and country estates. We'll immediately see what appeared in which historical period and, most importantly – we'll race through the ENTIRE St. Petersburg Neva.

Peterhof was designed to be visited from the water. The first time it happened was in 1723, when Peter gathered guests to celebrate the signing of peace treaty with Sweden. Since then, the main maritime residence has grown a lot: new fountains have been completed, palaces have been settled, neighboring parks have been joined, even a railroad has been built to it. Now it is one of the most popular attractions in St. Petersburg. But we remember how it all started — with water!

A great adventure in which we'll cross the Gulf of Finland at speed and reach the dam that protects St. Petersburg from floods. Here, gigantic forts protrude from the water, once protecting St. Petersburg from attacks from the sea. We'll learn more about the forts, walk around Kronstadt, and see the pearls of this sailors' city.

On an island near the shores of Lake Ladoga stands an ancient fortress. It has seen so many generations that it is hard to imagine. Those whom we study in history textbooks are its relatives. Events that someone may consider fairy tales for this place are as real as what happened yesterday. This is the Oreshek fortress.

We will travel along the Neva River out of St. Petersburg, passing through the lush center, the working suburbs, country mansions and places of military glory to finally disembark in Oreshek, stretch our legs, admire the views of the surrounding expanse, and listen to the stories from the past of this iconic place.

In this epic voyage in about 7 hours we will visit the places to which Peter the Great devoted his whole life. In Peterhof, we will stroll through the parks, refresh ourselves at the fountains, laugh and sigh at the local gold glittering beauties and delights.

In Kronstadt we will get close to the forts, built in the middle of the Gulf of Finland, disembark and walk around the city Kronstadt. We will try to feel the local flavor and learn how important this unique city on the island was for the Russian history.
