Overview

This 3-hour Copenhagen Canal Boat Tour, known as the Captain's Favorite Social Sailing, offers a guided boat trip through the city's harbor and canals with a focus on social interaction led by the captain. The tour begins by sailing past Ofelia Plads, Frederiks Kirke (Marmorkirken), Amalienborg, the Copenhagen Opera House, and the Nyholm Central Guardhouse. It then continues through the harbor to Trekroner Island, where the boat stops for 20 minutes to allow guests to explore the historic fortress and view Lynetteholmen, a new artificial island under construction to expand the city. After the stop, the tour proceeds to Nordhavn, showcasing the transformation of this former industrial harbor into a modern urban area. The final part of the trip navigates the canals of the old city center, including Christianshavn, Frederiksholms Kanal, and Slotholmens Kanal, passing landmarks such as Christiansborg Slot, Borsen exhibition, Inderhavnsbroen, Nyhavn, Holmen, and Christiania. The tour is conducted in English and includes the boat trip only. Drinks are available for purchase on board. The boats have roofs and blankets, and the tour operates in all weather conditions.
