Блэк Джек

“Блэк Джек” is a compact open motorboat for trips around St Petersburg with up to 5 guests. It has a white upper section, dark hull and black-and-white upholstery with diamond stitching. Cushioned seats run along the sides of the bow, 2 separate seats stand behind the windscreen, and a transverse sofa occupies the stern. A central passage links the front and rear sections. A small table with drink holders can be used for light refreshments. The boat suits a date, family outing, trip with friends or short photo shoot with embankment views. The gallery shows the hull, seating layout, open bow area and stern sofa, making it easier to assess the style of outing before the trip.

On board there is a music system, lighting, blankets, umbrellas, drinking cups and a protective rain canopy. There is no enclosed passenger cabin or toilet. Extra clothing is useful for an evening trip: wind is usually felt more strongly on open water than on the embankment. The base pier is at 99 Griboyedov Canal Embankment. A route along the central rivers and canals or passage onto the Neva can be agreed. A gentle cruising pace allows guests to admire façades, bridges and city views from the water. Duration is chosen to allow time to reach the desired places and return to the pier. Passage through particular sections depends on water levels, weather and navigation restrictions; the final route is agreed before departure.

Standard hire starts from 1 hour; allow at least 2 hours for a night trip to the opening bridges. The 2026 navigation-season tariff is RUB 7 000 per hour before midnight and RUB 7 500 per hour after 00:00. Separate low-, mid- and high-season rates have not been published. If the trip crosses midnight, the calculation for the full chosen duration is clarified on confirmation. The price for a holiday trip or special route is also agreed in advance. Include the date, departure time, number of guests and preferred duration in your enquiry. Discuss bringing refreshments, decorating the boat for a small occasion, making a stop or choosing another pier before the trip. Once agreed, the meeting point, boat availability and full trip price including additional services will be known.

Capacity depends on the event format: banquets or buffet receptions may accommodate fewer guests. The route is agreed with the skipper based on weather and water levels.
