The boat is fairly comfortable, the driver was very nice and the German part of his tour that I could understand was funny and informative. The audio guide was good for English, French, Spanish, and a dialect of Chinese. A map was also included in the mini-computer which was fun to look at. The tour itself is really interesting and this part of Hamburg is beautiful. I found this boat tour to be more interesting than the harbor tour. Buy tickets at the booth before you get down to the boats!

I came all this way to see more American b.s.? For the record, there are 3 Starbucks within a block of my house so I could be a little biased.

It's one of the companies that offers a round trip around Hamburg harbour. You can do a 1 hour or…read morelonger tour and it's available in German and English. The ticket guy thought we were tourists so offered us a discount on the German tour that was leaving in a few mins :-) I said nothing and took the discount ha ha ha The guide was also the boat captain and was very funny and informative. Took us for a good ride around the harbour and explained everything. Not a bad choice for a boat tour. They have smaller boats for about 30 odd people and they leave from pier 1 or 2 I believe. I would highly recommend you do a boat tour as it's a great way to see the city from the water.

I had come from a tour of the Airbus factory, also in Hamburg. My paddleboat cruise was schedule…read moreto leave at 5:30. As I was taking the ferry from the other side of the harbor, it was heading toward Landungsbruecke 1and I saw the paddleboat pass us going in the other direction about 5:20 PM. The boat must have filled to capacity and left early. I was very disappointed; however, I did receive a full refund which was of only minor consolation.

12EUR for 1h on a Pedalo (treetboot) for 2 people or 14EUR…read morefor 4 people. rudern is a bit more expensive probably 16EUR/hour. I dont know the usual rates in the bootsvermietung business, but isnt 12EUR/hour a tad bit too expensive? considering we got a Pedalo, which originally was used in zürich in the 1940s i presume. It was one ugly thing. Really old. and quite rusty. But the trip through the alster canals was worth it. We were away for 70 minutes but paid only for 60 minutes, which is fair enough. I am not sure if id rent another treetboot from that place.. besides the less-than-desirable condition of the "boat", the location of the shop is at the very beginning of the Big Alster by the kennedy bridge. Maybe next time id rent from a shop which is directly by a canal, or at least in the middle of the alster, so we wouldnt waste too much time pedalling inside the alster lake - which is rather boring.

Das ist das non plus ultra!…read more Ich bin vor 2 Wochen mit den RIB Piraten durch den Hafen gekachelt und es gibt wenig, was auf dem Wasser soviel Spass macht! An dem Tag war das Wetter echt bescheiden, aber selbst der Pisselregen hat uns nicht gestört. Mit Vollkaracho übers Wasser, das ist Adrenalin pur und echter Fahrspass! Das Team ist super nett und professionell! Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert! This is an absolute must do if youre interested into speed boat trips. I did it 2 weeks ago and it was a lots of fun. Although the weather wasnt really good, we enjoyed the speed cruise a lot. This is an adrenalin rush amazing! The RIB team is very friendly and professional and will instruct you as needed. Very recommendable!
