Over the past ten years, conferences and events of the all-Russian and international level have discussed the development of infrastructure for the passenger and small fleet in Russia and, in particular, in St. Petersburg - the sea capital of Russia. The areas that form St. Petersburg as the Sea Capital are sea cruises, river cruises, intercity and suburban passenger transportation, recreational shipping, yachting. Development of cruise tourism in Saint-Petersburg was boosted by opening of the new “Passenger Port of Saint Petersburg “Marine Façade”. Full scale operation opened sea gates for leaders of cruise business. Hundreds of thousands international tourists, coming by cruise ships and ferry vessels start to perceive Saint-Petersburg as a marine city. River cruises have a strong potential for territory branding. There are 60–80 cruise motor ships operating on cruise lines during navigation period. Every cruise motor ship enters Saint-Petersburg from 1 to 5–8 times during navigation period. Considerable segment of water tourism is occupied by intercity and suburban passenger transportation; rivers and canals cruises and boat tours have become a business card of the port city. Yacht tourism makes a considerable contribution into development of the “Sea capital” brand. It is one of the most progressing types of water tourism. According to forecasts of Committee on transport-transit policy of Saint-Petersburg number of small size vessels (yachts and motor boats) is going to increase by 37% and will make up approximately 60 000 vessels in the nearest 5 years.
