At Hey Captain, we specialize in Social Sailing, offering a unique way to meet new people while exploring Copenhagen's harbor. Our aim is to recreate the friendly atmosphere of sailing with friends.
This experience is more conversational and engaging than a typical guided tour.
The Captain's Favorite tour is designed for those who wish to discover Copenhagen in its full splendor. We'll explore the harbor's development, navigating through areas transformed by artificial islands built over many decades.
We'll make a brief stop at Trekroner Fortress. Here, history meets the future as we examine the historic fortress and observe the initial land reclamation for Lynetteholmen, Copenhagen's future island.
Continuing to Nordhavn, you'll witness Copenhagen's modern transformation, observing how urbanization is converting the industrial harbor into the recreational oasis for which Copenhagen is renowned.
Finally, we'll conclude by cruising through the picturesque canals of the old city center.

Ahoy there shipmates
G7221LOchrisn, October 2026
Enjoyed the experience. Elias was a very engaging captain and got the passengers talking during a one hour trip around the waterways of Copenhagen , pointing out places of interest and providing some good historical insight. He recommended some places to go (and not go) which was useful. A pleasant way to spend an hour with a variety of drinks available to buy onboard. Booking and check in all smooth and well organised.

Great overview of Copenhagen from the water
877rayt, October 2026
Perfect way to see the highlights in a relaxing cruise through the harbor. Create if you want to avoid the big crowds on the big Canal cruisers, very relaxing and worthwhile.

A wonderful private tour of Copenhagen calnals
B1796RNjeremym, September 2026
Hey Captain was most accommodating. We book a private tour for four, we got a bit lost and were running late whe got a call from Hey Captain that helped us navigate to the meeting point. Our Captain - Snyder- was terrific. He was competent, knowledgeable, engaging with a great sense of humor. We did the hour tour and it was magnificent. The weather was great and the sights were spectacular from the canal. Copenhagen is such a beautiful city.
