Одиссей (катер)

“Одиссей” is an open leisure motorboat, 6.7 m long and 2.5 m wide, for up to 9 guests. Its white hull with a wide red stripe and light-coloured sofas with red inserts are clearly visible in the photographs. In the bow, seats surround a small oval table, making it easy to talk face to face and look at the embankments. A central walkway connects the bow with the main passenger area behind the windscreen. At the stern are upholstered seats and small platforms beside the outboard motor. The motorboat suits a family outing, gathering of friends, date or small birthday celebration on the water.

On board there are a toilet and washbasin, with blankets and glasses provided for guests. The music system supports Bluetooth, so a playlist can be prepared before the trip. The compact open layout lets guests view the city without the walls of an enclosed saloon. For a route along the central rivers and canals, the Moika, Fontanka and Griboyedov Canal can be discussed. A longer trip can be arranged to reach the Neva, with views of the Hermitage, the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island and the Peter and Paul Fortress. An evening option focuses on city illumination, while a night option takes in the opening bridges. Waterway availability, passage arrangements and duration depend on weather and navigation restrictions.

The minimum booking is 1 hour. The 2026 rates are divided into 2 periods: until 14 May and from 1 September, and from 15 May to 31 August. In the first period, the Monday-to-Friday rate is RUB 7 000 per hour, or RUB 8 000 per hour from 00:00 to 06:00; on Saturday and Sunday it is RUB 8 000 per hour, or RUB 8 500 per hour during the same night-time hours. From 15 May to 31 August, the rates are RUB 8 000 and RUB 8 500 per hour on weekdays, and RUB 9 000 and RUB 9 500 per hour at weekends respectively. No separate mid season is defined. Trips for the 9 May fireworks, Scarlet Sails, the St Petersburg International Economic Forum and Navy Day are quoted on request. The base pier is at Rimskogo-Korsakova, 24. When enquiring, state the number of guests, date, time and preferred route; the meeting point, duration and final cost will be confirmed for the chosen trip.

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.
