Sailing Lake Alster in Hamburg was a perfect five-star experience. Great communication leading up to the event, a knowledgeable captain, and stunning scenery made for what seems like a tranquil getaway from the city despite the lake being right in the heart of the city center. A must-do for Hamburg visitors.

We enjoyed the early afternoon tour. The weather was sunny and slightly breezy. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable too. It was great to experience the tour with locals as well. Would recommend!

Barca boats in Hamburg in general have the highest quality services taking into consideration the cost factor so the cost-benefit ratio is really good. The staff are super nice they speak English and German and the sailing experience was great as well. I’d love to book again in the future.

It was a pleasant evening on the water. Unfortunately, there was not much wind for our time and it was more of floating on the Alster and less of sailing, but I enjoy being on the water and thought it was relaxing. This is not a tour, which is clear in the description, but the captain did try to point out some interesting buildings/areas to us and answered questions. We were offered a different day with better sailing weather, but we weren’t in town for that long.

We were blessed with sunny weather, though very little wind, so not a great deal of hands on sailing, but our Captain, Henning, was great fun and we very much enjoyed the company of our fellow sailing crew too. A relaxing 1.5hr on the water.

The whole trip was fun and thrilling. The sailer was very interactive and made the experience worth while. He even allowed my fiancé to help him with the sailing which was really nice to see! Overall, it truly was an adventure :)

I would like to give this a higher review, but unfortunately, our expectations were certainly not met. We paid for an English speaking tour, and not a single word of English other than watch your head was ever uttered. I’m sure that the tour guide was very interesting as the German speakers on the boat seemed to enjoy his commentary, with many gasps and laughter, but he never told us what he was saying, even though I explained that we spoke no German at the beginning and checked multiple times that this was an English speaking tour. It says it right on the ticket, but it just isn’t true. We tried to obtain a partial refund since we could’ve gotten the same effect riding around in a paddle boat for a 10th of the price, but Viator seemed to think that it’s OK that we had a German tour when we paid for English. Truthfully, the tour guide/captain was almost rude in his talking over us to the people on the other side of us. I would’ve been embarrassed to be the Germans on that boat if my role had been reversed. We even tried to use our translator but he wasn’t speaking loud enough for it to pick up any but every 10th word. I understand people wanting you to learn the language of their country, but when you’re only visiting for a short period of time, that’s just not possible, and that was why we were looking for English-speaking tours particularly, because we don’t expect everyone to speak English so we go out of our way to find English tours. The fact that they claimed to be English speaking and weren’t is just an example of what my German friends call the German “service desert”. They weren’t surprised, but they were disappointed, as was I.

Wonderful relaxing cruise around the lake with a group of friends. Henning was really accommodating and was able to arrange a boat for us a couple of days before the summer season kicked off. He was accessible and friendly throughout the booking phase, giving clear directions to find the boat. The cruise was expertly driven by Rainer. Thanks for a great activity during our trip to Hamburg! Fully recommend.
