Description
Prague Private Boat Tour – 3 Hours
Our driver will pick you up in the hotel and together you will drive to the Old Town where our boat docks. Our private captain/guide will help you board and you will begin your private Prague boat cruise. In the first hour we will go through Stvanice lock and sail around the Holesovice neighborhood. Holesovice was formerly an industrial area that was rebuilt into a luxurious office and residential area. We will see some industrial leftovers such as the former slaughterhouse and Holesovice dock. We will see modern architecture and beautiful residential buildings hovering above the Vltava river. Across the river from Holesovice lies Karlin, a neighborhood that shared a similar fate with Holesovice. It was a formerly industrial area and now through the gentrification process it is turning into the hottest residential area in Prague with plenty of young people moving in and new construction going on.
During the second hour of our private boat ride we will sail back through Stvanice lock and into the historical center of Prague. We will pass underneath the Charles Bridge, we will take beautiful pictures of the Prague Castle and we will sail along the Old Town weir. The size of our private boat allows us to sail into areas where bigger boats cannot go, such as the Old Town water mills or the picturesque Certovka canal. After spending one hour in the historical center we will go back through Smichov lock to see the southern city center. We will see the New Town of Prague, sail underneath the Dancing House, along Vysehrad, Smichov and to Dvorecky bridge. Then we will turn around and head back into Smichov lock and finish in the Old Town after all together 3 hours.
