Gdansk/Sopot: Private Catamaran Cruise – A Relaxing Maritime Escape
If you’re craving a taste of the sea without leaving the Polish coast, the private catamaran cruise offered by Premium Yachting provides an ideal escape. The experience takes you along the Baltic shoreline, with options to customize your trip—be it a celebration or a peaceful afternoon—making it a flexible choice for many travelers. With a duration of about an hour, it’s a quick but memorable way to see the coast from a different perspective.
What I really like about this cruise is the chance to relax on a spacious, modern catamaran with panoramic views from the sun deck—imagine soaking up the sun with the Baltic Sea stretching out before you. The onboard sound system allows you to set your favorite playlist, creating a personalized atmosphere that suits your mood perfectly. Plus, the option to add catering, cocktails, or decorations means you can turn a simple boat trip into a special occasion or a corporate outing.
One thing to keep in mind is that since the cruise lasts just an hour, it’s best suited for those looking for a brief but scenic experience. Also, since the activity is not suitable for wheelchair users or seasickness-prone travelers, it’s important to consider these factors beforehand. Last-minute bookings can be a bit tricky depending on availability, so planning ahead will ensure you get your preferred time and meeting point.
