Along the way, we’ll also stop for a refreshing break at one of Helsinki’s most beautiful seaside terraces (2-hour version).

Environmental Responsibility

About the Boat
A Ring Powercraft boat (RIB) combines a rigid, durable hull with inflatable tubes. This type of construction provides excellent stability and seaworthiness. RIB boats are widely used by maritime rescue organisations around the world because of their safety and reliability. Greenpeace also uses RIB boats in its operations.
Our RIB boat, Grey Hawk, is CE-certified in Category B, meaning it is approved for operation in Baltic Sea conditions. The boat is 9.5 metres long and 3.2 metres wide, with capacity for a total of 12 people. This allows us to take up to 11 guests on each tour.
The boat’s inflatable tubes are made of Hypalon and divided into seven separate compartments. It is powered by a 300 hp Suzuki DF300 outboard engine with a V6 configuration and a displacement of approximately four litres.
