    Ladoga… It is very close to Saint-Petersburg!!! It is not simply a lake; it is a real sea with the sun going down beyond the horizon, with beating of waves and cries of seagulls. The northern nature is severe and beautiful. There are sandbanks, placers of boulders and thickly wooded islands. The complicated labyrinths of straits fascinate a traveler. You will hear birds singing, wash, oar splash and tackle creak. Chainless wind will swell your canvas, and Ladoga skerries and delightful white nights will not leave you indifferent. Having acquired new friends and having undergone all difficulties and pleasure of traveling romantic, you will form a unified, strong-knit team, your body and soul will have a rest, you will receive new incomparable impressions.

    And what about a camp bath-house with a fresh broom and herbal tea …….!?
    And what about guitar songs round the camp fire ……!?
    And what about the fish soup with fresh fish just caught by you……!?

We  will provide you with convenient tents for two, sleeping-bags, tourist mats, life-saving jackets, first aid kits, pots for cooking, a smokery, a tent from rain, excellent set of products and at last  the foremost: a boat with ores and a canvas.
    Executing all commands and orders of the instructor, the group will acquire skills and knowledge of boating under canvas and with ores, will take a start and will rest perfectly.
    Tourists take active part in cooking on the fire on this route. The duties are arranged by terms. A set of products allows cooking practically all dishes.

    We offer four-days tours on yawls and seven-day tours on centerboarders on Ladoga.

    A yawl is a light six-ores row-sail boat with the total surface of canvases 20.4 m2.

    A centerboarder is a seagoing, swift-sailing two-masted yacht with a stable hull and a center board, with the total surface of canvases 44 m2. The centerboarders are faster then yawls and  motor boats, but at the same time they are reliable and comfortable for our tours. A centerboarder is a step forward to modern yachting.

  • St. Petersburg

    Dear Friends,

    Top Sport Travel is pleased to bring to you a choice of 2 fantastic tours of our fascinating Russian city.

    As we live and work in St-Petersburg, we know this beautiful city very well and are delighted to present our programs. When creating the 7-days program, we tried to strike a balance between sightseeing and leisure time. The 4-days program will allow you to get acquainted with the city and its imperial suburbs for a short period of time.

    These are only a guide and we are entirely flexible in our programs. You can mix and match any of our suggestions or we will assist you in putting together your own tailor-made program.

    The representative of our company will meet you and see you off at the airport to avoid unwanted stress in unfamiliar conditions. An authorized personal guide will escort you around the city in your own language.

    We can arrange these tours all year round; however, the most fascinating period for visiting St-Petersburg is during the «White Nights» period which lasts from the end of May till July. We ask our clients to reserve tours for this period in advance.


    We look forward to your visit!
