Boating in Moscow is one of the most popular pastimes for Muscovites and guests of the capital. Fresh river breeze, constantly changing views around, water running under the side - everything is conducive to relaxation and good mood. Shipping companies that carry out pleasure trips offer numerous routes, including those outside the capital. Riding on the motor ship (Moscow River) begins as soon as navigation opens, and ends with its end. There is no specific schedule - it all depends on the weather conditions. For tourists, water recreation is especially attractive, since it is easy and simple to explore the city: you look from the deck without bothering your legs. On some ships you can have a hearty snack in the buffet. Probably the most popular route is from the Kievsky railway station to the Novospassky Monastery near the Proletarskaya metro station. It belongs to the Capital Shipping Company. This is the oldest enterprise in Moscow.

Most Popular Routes
Riding on a boat in Moscow from the Kievsky railway station is the most popular route. In addition, a boat trip, coupled with a walking tour around the Golden Bridge, is very popular, especially among tourists. The route begins at the Luzhkov Bridge, the ship passes the monument to Peter I, the Kremlin, Novospassky Bridge and again returns to the beginning of the journey. Another popular excursion starts at the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve. There, tourists board a ship that goes to the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery, where a walking tour takes place. On board the ship, tourists receive hot meals. Riding on a motor ship in Moscow from the River Station offers a boat trip along the Pestovsky reservoir. Routes are carried out several times a day, regardless of weekdays, weekends and holidays.

Country boat trips
Out-of-town trips on riverboats are most in demand by Muscovites, but guests of the capital often choose these trips, because you can not only admire the picturesque pictures of nature, but also see the sights that the Moscow region is rich in. Mostly hydrofoil boats "Rocket" (half an hour) or pleasure boats "Moskva" (an hour and a half) go out of town. The route starts at the Northern River Station, walks pass through the reservoir. Once a day, a long journey takes place with a disembarkation on the shore in the Bay of Joy for sunbathing and swimming (4 and a half hours). There is a beautiful sandy beach, pine forest and magnificent lawns. Sports grounds, barbecue places and tents are equipped on the shore.
Traditions and new trendswater recreation
Riding on a boat in Moscow can take place not only as a small entertainment in your free time. For example, since Soviet times, there has been a tradition to celebrate the last bell on the water. New times have brought other trends: corporate evenings on ships, weddings and anniversaries in floating restaurants, trips out of town by water for entertainment events, and much more. In addition, a water taxi has recently begun to run along the river, which helps to overcome the eternal Moscow traffic jams. It's a bit more expensive than a normal land move, but if your destination is somewhere along the coast, you'll get there quickly. A route is also planned from the city of Lytkarino near Moscow to the Maryino metro station on hovercraft, which will operate all year round.
