Description
Board a modern 42-foot sailing yacht and experience the winds and tides of Germany's most beautiful, challenging, and diverse river. See huge container ships, cruise ships, and many other boats...
For Elbe enthusiasts! Our extraordinary, predominantly emission-free "Cruise with lights" from/to Hamburg is only available on a few dates each year.
Many people find it hard to imagine sailing the Elbe in the dark, that's how exciting "the Elbe at night" seems. Reason enough for us to fulfill this much cherished wish. Our trip, unique in Hamburg, starts during the day, just before dusk. You will soon see the sun go down and, in the shallow transition to night, experience how all the lights around us go on: The lights of the fairway buoys and the many small and large ships, the lights of the port of Hamburg and its jetties, the beautiful sparkle of the scenery along the dark Elbe. Again and again you might lose your bearings for a moment before we are back in the harbor, safe and impressed by our lights cruise at night.
The route of this cruise is essentially the same as the "Blankenese" sailing-trip from/to Hamburg.
For reasons of exclusivity, we limit the number of participants on this trip to 10 people, although the yacht is licensed for 12 people, plus skipper of course.
Private groups with a maximum of 12 people (e.g. stag party, birthday party etc.) book 10 seats and you are alone on board. No other guests!

This is the address of "CITY SPORTHAFEN HAMBURG", our location in Hamburg:
- In the harbor basin, opposite the ESPRESSO HOUSE (Vorsetzen 31, 20459 Hamburg) on the promenade, is the ROTE FEUERSCHIFF (a floating, red, real, old ship with a small lighthouse on top, which is operated as a restaurant and hotel etc.), among other things. Not to be confused with a fire boat).
- There you go all the way down the pier / gangway
