★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $46Best loved

Spend about an hour sailing Hamburg’s Alster with a local skipper such as Henning or Reiner. This is a quiet, small-group sailing trip rather than a narrated sightseeing cruise. Enjoy one beer, prosecco, or soft drink while viewing parks, churches, the Alster Fountain, and the Elbphilharmonie from the water.

“Ein superschöner Segeltrip in der Abenddämmerung über die Außeralster mit dem sehr entspannten, humorvollen Skipper Henning wird uns unvergesslich bleiben. Wenn wir wieder in Hamburg sind, kommen wir wieder. Danke für dieses tolle Erlebnis, lieber Henning! Gruß aus Wiesbaden”
