Additional Information
At Hey Captain, we embrace Social Sailing, enabling you to connect with others and discover the charm of Copenhagen harbor. Our journey began as a group of friends on a boat, and we’re keen to extend that friendly, relaxed vibe to our guests. Expect engaging conversations and interactions, rather than a conventional guided tour.
Your captain will guide you to our top picks in the harbor during the tour. There’s ample opportunity to raise questions and we encourage you to engage in discussions about life in Copenhagen. Our aim is to immerse you in the city’s vibe rather than bombard you with historical tidbits. The itinerary isn’t strictly fixed, allowing for potential changes based on the group’s preferences and special harbor events. The 2-hour Hidden Gems Tour deviates from the typical canal tour paths in the city center, letting you explore the budding residential areas in the South or North harbor. We are excited to welcome you on board and hope you’ll enjoy our unique Social Sailing experience.

Family & Friends: Excellent social tour - Hey, from a local!
This was my 6th trip with Hey Captain. This time in 3 boats - to celebrate my sons 18th Bday. The youngster in one boat and a mix of family and friends in the 2 other boats. Each Captain contributed enormously to a pleasant, relaxing, and involving atmosphere. In one boat we talked about childhood dreams, and to what extent they have been realized and current dreams/goal. In another boat they talked about their individual relations to my son - and how they would describe him as a person. In the Youngster boat, they simply had a great time, again excellently facilitated by the Captain. So, even though you already know each other quite well – the Captains facilitated another level of insight among the guests. Not an easy task – but done in a seamless and natural way.
On top, good talks about architecture, houseboats, and many other thing.

A trip not to be Nis’d - My wife and I had wonderful relaxed 2 hours with Nis (who was friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable) and 6 others from around the world - really different experience and sailing by some of the bigger boats travelling much faster made you realise what a good decision it was to take this trip - GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY - would recommend- and THANK YOU AGAIN Nis

A lot of Fun! - Had a great couple of hours on the water. The ride was a fun way to see different parts of the city. Our tour guide was knowledgable and was open to going to specific places per request. The drinks on board were nice too! Highly recommend this tour!

Hey - choose this trip - We booked directly with this company preferring a small group experience and were treated to a private sailing as we were the only 2 customers. Well done Hey Captain for honouring the booking when we might have expected to be ‘offered’ an alternative with more customers. William was easy company, sharing insights about the city, places of interest and its lifestyle. We took the 15.40 tour and enjoyed mulled wine, warm blankets and the lights of the city to offset the cold.

Awesome boot tour - perfect for solo trip, couples or groups - I booked the boat trip online in advance without any problems and was greeted warmly at the jetty. My tour took me along the Little Mermaid and the canals and I can really only recommend it. Best captain ever - had great entertainment and the hour flew by, saw great sights and learned a lot about Copenhagen. If you're looking for a boat trip that's about more than just hearing a few boring facts, then definitely go on this one and don't shy away from entertainment - it's worth it! 10 out of 10! :):)
Ich habe die Bootsfahrt vorab super problemlos online gebucht und wurde am Steg freundlich begrüßt. Meine Tour führte entlang der little Mermaid und den Kanälen und ich kann es wirklich nur empfehlen. Bester Captain ever - super Unterhaltung gehabt und die Stunde ging vorbei wie im Flug, tolle Sights gesehen und viel über Kopenhagen gelernt. Wenn ihr eine Bootsfahrt sucht, bei der es auch darum geht, mehr als nur ein paar langweilige Fakten zu hören, dann unbedingt hier mitfahren und keine Unterhaltung scheuen - es lohnt sich! 10 von 10! :):)

Journey to the canals of Copenhegan - The hey captain is the recommended tour in the canals of Copenhagen! This is a good way to see the beautiful canals and have a great time doing it with loved ones or friends or just by with your hey Captain! Erasmus was a good captain!

Do a free walking tour instead! - Of course it is nice to socialize and get to know the other passengers - however I would have wished far more information on Kopenhagen itself. We just cruised around the Harbour with only a few information.
