The Motława dares you to come closer as the city exhales into gold—water catches the sunset and the shipyard’s cranes cut silhouettes against a cooling sky. Onboard the Baby Blue Katamaran, the river’s gentle sway becomes the tempo: a one-hour glide past Granary Island, the Long Bridge with the Crane, Mariacka Gate and the hulking profiles of the historic shipyard.

History
Gdańsk’s shipyards were central to Baltic trade for centuries and gained global significance in the 1980s as the birthplace of the Solidarity movement that challenged communist rule in Poland.
Conservation
Keep waste off the river and use designated bins onshore; small, quiet vessels like the Baby Blue reduce shoreline wake and disturbance but operators still manage fuel use and passenger limits to minimize impact.

Arrive Early for the Best Views
Boarding spots along the Old Town fill fast—arrive 10–15 minutes early to pick a sheltered seat on deck for unobstructed views of the shipyard at sunset.
Dress in Layers and Bring a Windbreaker
Even summer evenings on the Motława can be breezy; a lightweight windbreaker keeps you comfortable during the full hour on deck.
Protect Your Camera from Spray
Use a splash-proof bag or quick-dry cloth—salt and river spray can sting lenses, especially during low-light photography.
Consider Seasickness Prevention
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication beforehand or sit mid-boat where movement feels gentler.
Windbreaker or Light Jacket
Blocks evening river breeze and keeps you warm as temperatures drop around sunset.
