Франческо

«Франческо» is a Chaparral leisure motorboat with a red hull and an open bow for up to 6 guests. The motorboat is 5.59 m long and 2.29 m wide. Light-coloured seats with red inserts echo the hull colours, and the Francesco lettering helps identify the boat at the pier. There are padded seats along the sides of the bow. A central passage leads to 2 separate seats behind the windscreen and to the stern seating. The main area has cup holders and storage for small items, with a platform and ladder at the back. You can choose this motorboat for a cruise for 2, a gathering with friends, a family outing or a small hen party.

A canopy for sun and rain, blankets and wine glasses are provided for guests. The Hertz audio system lets you bring your favourite music to the trip. The open layout is convenient for viewing the embankments and taking photographs against the city backdrop. A short cruise can follow the Griboyedov Canal, while a longer trip can include the central rivers and canals. Entering the Neva reveals views of the Hermitage, Peter and Paul Fortress and the city lights. Night sailings are arranged around the opening of the bridges; access to the Neva depends on navigation restrictions. If that waterway is closed, the route may follow the accessible rivers and canals. The route sequence and return time must be agreed when choosing the programme.

The minimum hire is 1 hour. For the 2026 navigation season, the rate is RUB 7 000/h until 31 May and from 1 September, and RUB 7 500/h from June to August. No separate mid-season period is defined. In summer, a surcharge of RUB 1 000/h applies to bridge-opening cruises on the nights leading into Saturday and Sunday. The 9 May fireworks, Scarlet Sails, the St Petersburg International Economic Forum and Navy Day are quoted on request. The base pier is at 61 Griboyedov Canal Embankment. In your request, provide the date, number of guests, duration and desired departure time. Discuss refreshments and additional services in advance: photographs of table settings do not automatically mean these are included. The meeting point, available route, night surcharge and total cost will be confirmed for your sailing.

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.
