Overview

Statek Pirat is a distinctive replica of a 17th-century galleon permanently moored at the Sopot Pier. It functions as a seasonal maritime excursion vessel offering cruises along the Baltic coastline. The ship is modeled after historical pirate designs and features wooden masts and thematic deck decor. It serves as a prominent visual landmark for tourists walking the length of the pier. The vessel operates primarily during the summer months when Baltic Sea conditions permit safe navigation. Passengers can view the Sopot shoreline and the surrounding Tri-City area from the water. The boat transitions between active sailing trips and stationary sightseeing roles depending on daily weather conditions.

Insider tips

Check the daily sailing schedule at the gangway upon arrival, as departures are strictly weather-dependent.

Bring a windproof jacket, as temperatures on the open water are significantly lower than on the pier.

Avoid booking in advance during windy or stormy days, as trips are frequently cancelled for safety.

What to avoid

Do not wait on the pier for departures during heavy winds, as the ship may suspend operations without prior online notice.

Good to know

Operates exclusively during the spring and summer season; service is suspended during autumn and winter months.
