Орион

“Орион” is an open motorboat for a small group of up to 6 guests. Its recognisable details are bronze-coloured sides, light upholstery with brown inserts and a low windscreen with a central passage. In the open bow, upholstered seats face each other. Behind the windscreen are the captain’s position, a lengthways passenger seat and aft seats beside the engine cover. A small platform with a ladder is visible at the stern. This arrangement lets guests choose a forward-facing view or sit closer to the main group. The motorboat suits a date, outing with friends, family leisure time or photographic trip around St Petersburg.

A protective canopy, heater and blankets are provided for the trip. On board there are a table, glasses and an audio system, so you can prepare your own playlist. The main format is open-air relaxation with views of the embankments and city architecture. A canal route can be discussed via the Fontanka, Kryukov Canal and Moika. Access to the Neva adds broad panoramas of the centre, with views of the Hermitage and Peter and Paul Fortress. For a longer trip, a route towards the islands or into the Gulf of Finland can be agreed. A night trip to the opening bridges requires the time to be chosen separately. The waters to be visited, passage arrangements, stops and return time are confirmed with weather and current traffic restrictions in mind.

Hire is available from 1 hour. In the 2026 navigation season, the rate is RUB 6 000 per hour until 31 May and from 1 September, and RUB 7 000 per hour from June to August. No mid season is defined as a separate calendar period. These rates have no published division between weekdays, weekends and night-time hours; conditions for the specific departure are confirmed when enquiring. Trips for the 9 May fireworks, Scarlet Sails, the St Petersburg International Economic Forum and Navy Day are quoted on request. The tariff lists the base point as Fontanka River Embankment, 113. When booking, clarify the boarding point and meeting time, especially if planning a late departure. State the number of guests, date, preferred duration and waters you wish to visit. Food, drinks and additional services are agreed in advance, and the final calculation is confirmed for your 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.
