Former member of the Soviet National Rowing Team, Boris Tsatskin charms passengers with crooned Italian classics and enthusiastic gondoliering. Boris, bedecked in the traditional striped shirt and red kerchief, explores the bridges, verdant yards, and unsellable Atlantean real estate that compose Phillippi Creek. Plush red seats cradle guests as the sleek black craft glides through the peaceful waters, propelled by the whispering motion of Boris’s oar. A larger vessel accommodates parties of up to eight and provides ample room for friends in need of serenading or mannequins in need of fresh air.
