Yacht on the Gulf of Finland

Yacht rental on the Gulf of Finland is a different level. From central Petersburg, you enter the Neva, pass under the bridges, and 30-40 minutes later, endless water opens before you. No shores — just the horizon.

Available with a gulf trip:

• 🏝 Kronstadt Forts — approach historic fortifications from the water (3-4 hours)
• 🎣 Fishing — cod, pike-perch, smelt (in season). Bring your own gear or rent
• 🏕 Multi-day cruises — 1-3 day trips with overnight stays in cabins. Route: SPb — forts — Zelenogorsk — Vyborg
• 🌅 Sunset on the Gulf — 3-4 hour cruise catching the sunset over the water

Best yachts for the gulf: Princess 50 (3 cabins, from 30 000 RUB/h), Pallada (4 cabins, 22 meters, from 50 000 RUB/h), Azimut 62S (3 cabins, climate control, from 40 000 RUB/h).

Two main routes are available for yacht rental on the Gulf of Finland:

• 🌊 Gulf of Finland (2-3 hours) — to Lakhta Center, Park of the 300th Anniversary, Elagin Island, back past Kamennoostrovsky Palace. Pure open space, 360° horizon, fresh sea breeze. Perfect for those who want to feel true freedom of open water.
• 🏛🌊 Neva + Gulf of Finland (2-3 hours) — from Peter and Paul Fortress past Krestovsky Island to Lakhta Center. A combined route: imperial Petersburg gives way to the boundless gulf. The best of both worlds — architecture and nature in one cruise.

Both routes can be extended to 4-5 hours with a visit to the Kronstadt forts or a swimming stop in a scenic bay.
