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.
In this thought-out seven-hour voyage (a little longer for bigger yachts) we will see the most beautiful imperial residence — Peterhof, and the impregnable citadel of the Baltic Fleet — the city of Kronstadt.
In general, it is two voyages in one: Voyage to Peterhof and Voyage to the forts of Kronstadt
We will get to the summer imperial residence with a breeze. If we go by boat, it will take us about 50 minutes, and if we go by yacht, it will take us about 1.5-2 hours. Yachts don't race, you know. Not their style.
The voyage promises to be interesting, because on the way you will be accompanied by our couragier (that is our way of saying "guide"), who will tell you tales of the construction of this residence: from the laying of the first stone, to the launch of fountains, and subsequent rebuilds.
The trip is very eventful, so we recommend you to take something to eat. We will have a break before we leave Peterhof.
Peterhof is very closely connected with the water element, and the Kronstadt fortress is built entirely for the needs of the fleet.
Peter the Great originally chose the place for Peterhof so that water could be brought to it and the fountains would flow by themselves, without outside help. The Tsar built his summer "house by the sea" Monplaisir right on the shore of the Gulf of Finland with the expectation that Kronstadt would be visible from there. Most of the building materials were delivered to Peterhof by water, even the earth for the soil was delivered by barges to substitute local clay. The first guests, by the way, also arrived at the fountain residence by boat!
When we finish with Peterhof - we will return to the pier, get aboard, and head towards the sparkling gold dome of the Naval Cathedral, to Kronstadt. In about half an hour we will already be there (it takes us about an hour on leisurely yachts) — in the cradle of Russian seamanship. Here you will learn how the first forts appeared and what obstacles had to be overcome during their construction. Only when approaching Kronstadt from the water you can understand the scope of fortification thought behind this engineering miracle. We will pass close to the forts, see the dam wall, and take a walk in Kronstadt. We will walk along the streets of Kronstadt, past the ship factory and cadet corps, we will reach the Anchor Square and the Naval Cathedral, pay our respects to Admiral Makarov, go to the Naval Cathedral, see it in detail, and set off on our way back.
The way back will take us about an hour, in 60 minutes we will already be in the St.Petersburg. Very quick and convenient.
After this voyage we can safely say that youэму discovere the Gulf of Finland from the water! Here's your medal!
