Sailing

Very good, ours was the sunset sailing cruise through Lake Alster. Very good, our commander was a very experienced sailor in the arts of sailing, and the place is very beautiful and quiet. On the pier there is a restaurant and bar, with bathroom. A very relaxing walk.

Perfect end to a day in Hamburg

Small group was perfect. Our Captain didn’t say much but we talked to the others on the boat and made new friends. Great way to end the day in Hamburg!

Super

A very nice boat trip on the Alster at sunset. The atmosphere was relaxed and romantic, the panorama of Hamburg in the evening light just wonderful. Highly recommended for couples or anyone who wants to experience the city in a special way.

A fantastic relaxing excursion with a friendly skipper.

At first a lull threatened, but then the wind was enough for a very nice sailing trip. I'm sure that wasn't the last time...

Great time on Lake Alster.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on the lake. The captain was a pro and handled the boat very well. I would highly recommend.

sure great if there is wind....

unfortunately we had no wind to sail. However, we could decide whether we wanted to sail anyway, consider postponing the sailing trip or cancel with full compensation. We chose the latter, and immediately got the amount refunded. Very nice skipper. Next time we visit Hamburg we will try again.

Definitely sail on Lake Außenalster

Lovely skipper who gave a nice tour of the lake and surrounds. Easy to find location with a bar at the hop on/drop off point to enjoy after. Must do!
