Original idea for a photo shoot
Photos on the beach, a session in Gdansk’s Old Town – while they may be stunning, they are nothing special. Most people who have had the opportunity to vacation in the famous Neptune’s Grotto probably have in their album identical shots at the fountain or against the background of the City Hall. You don’t have to be like the others! Rent our galley for a photo session and provide an extraordinary backdrop for your original photos. A historic boat combined with romantic landscapes (be sure to check out our sunset galley cruise) is an uncommon idea for special occasion, family, engagement and wedding sessions.
A photo session (Gdansk) on a boat is also a great gift idea for someone close to you. Make your parents, grandparents, friends or other half a surprise that will be stuck in their memory for a long time. You don’t have to wait for a specific date or a special occasion – surprise your loved one today and turn an ordinary day into an unforgettable adventure! Our boat rental offer is distinguished by its flexibility: we will take you anywhere you wish. What’s more, due to the small size of our galleys, we are able to sail routes inaccessible to larger vessels.
