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.

It is a way to kill time in Copenhagen. 3 hours seemed long. Some nice views from the canals, but nothing really special. Our captain Nico was energetic and knew a lot about the city. The social side of going around and introducing yourself didn't really seem to resonate with any of us. We all got off the boat and walked our separate ways as you'd expect.

It ended up being more than I expected. I expected these small canals winding through the older parts of town, but then we saw the new unique architecture along the waterfronts and learned about the culture and how the locals live and work. Well worth it!!!

Great way to spend 3 hours exploring the canals and harbor of Copenhagen. Our guide, Aska was knowledgeable, professional and passionate about his city and his job. We highly recommend this tour.
