The season of sightseeing and excursion navigation of 2025 has ended in St. Petersburg. Neva Travel made its last voyages along the Neva on November 10, closing the summer season, in which catamarans of projects 04580 Kotlin and 04710 Sommers were actively used.
In total, five high-speed and two excursion and sightseeing vessels built at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipbuilding Plant (SNSZ) of the USC group with the support of the state program for leasing water transport of the GTLK were operated on the routes.
Kotlin catamarans are 32 meters long and 8.7 meters wide and are designed for 200 passengers. They develop an operating speed of about 26 knots and can reach 30 knots. The vessels are adapted to the water area of St. Petersburg and the Gulf of Finland: low bridges, minimal wave formation and comfortable swimming provide convenience for tourists. Six catamarans of the series were built in 2023–2025 specifically for Neva Travel.
Sommers excursion catamarans are designed for 147 passengers and serve routes around the islands and forts of Kronstadt. In October 2025, the third catamaran of the series was handed over, which will be launched on the route in 2026. The new vessels expand the tourist opportunities of the city, providing safe and comfortable voyages for residents and guests of St. Petersburg.
