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.

5.00It was a fun and easy way to see the layout of the city and its different neighborhoods. Having a small group in the boat was lovely compared to the bigger tourist boats.
Delightful afternoon on water in Copenhagen

5.00Great way to see the city with a small group. Our captain Caroline was excellent with information and humour. Being only a small group of twelve, the maximum our boat carried, she set the tone for a social afternoon whereby there was interaction between everyone. I would definitely recommend it as a must do activity and a very worthwhile 3 hours.

5.00Caroline was an incredible guide. I thought 3 hours on the water might be too long but the time passed quickly. We learned so much about Copenhagen and life there. So glad we chose this tour.
Three Hour Tour

5.00We did the three hour tour and I really wish we had done this to start the trip. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke with pride about his city and country. It's was a really great way to see parts of the city, and gave us ideas of where we'd like to explore in the future. Even when one guest who thought the tour was all about them, our captain handled it well and kept everyone else engaged in the tour. I would highly recommend doing the three hour sailing early in a trip.
