Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite

Overview

At Hey Captain we do Social Sailing, where you meet new people and explore Copenhagen harbor. We started as friends on a boat and this is the atmosphere we want to deliver to our guests. It's a talk and a dialogue more than your standard classical tour.

The Captain’s Favorite is for you who wants to explore all of Copenhagen in its full glory. We explore the development of the harbor by journeying through areas that has been built by creating artificial islands over the last many decades. We do a brief stop at the fortress on Trekroner Island where history mix with the future, when we explore the historic fortress and see the first land reclamation of Lynetteholmen - the future island of Copenhagen. We then continue to Nordhavn where you experience firsthand the modern part of Copenhagen and how urbanization is transforming the industrial harbor into the recreational oasis that has made Copenhagen so famous. In the end we finish off with the picturesque canals of the old city centre.

This was an excellent 1 hour boat trip around the canals of Copenhagen. We enjoyed hearing from the captain about the local sights and answering our questions.
A great way to see Copenhagen

Booked this after a friend recommended it. I was actually the only one booked on the booking. So was like a private tour with Matilda. Had a lovely time sailing around chatting and Matilda telling me about Copenhagen. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Highly recommend. Mathilde provided the perfect balance of conversation and telling us about the city. All the staff were super kind, knowledgeable and professional - what a contrast to the overcrowded big boats. Cozy blankets, warm drinks and pleasant company.
Would Recommend!!!

This tour was a great way to see Denmark in a unique way. Our favorite part was being able to get out and explore the island that you can only get to by boat that has served many purposes throughout the years. We also enjoyed being able to talk to other passengers and get to hear their stories. Matilda was a great captain and very knowledgeable. She made our experience very enjoyable.
Interaction, Fun, Collaboration, Interesting

Excellent guide. The trip is interesting because the guide does not just make a monotonous description, quite the opposite. During the trip a relationship of trust and collaboration is established between the guide and the group. As there is a greater proximity between the parties, the trip/excursion becomes more exciting. I recommend.
Matthias was a great tour...

We had booked the 1 hour tour for our anniversary, but it ended up being just my wife and I with the captain which was a lucky bonus. The experience was great and we got to see the city in the beautiful night lighting. The captain was earnest and funny, and talking with him was very relaxing. He had plenty of interesting facts and information to share about Copenhagen, which was very informative for us as newcomers to Copenhagen.
