By boat on the Black Sea

There aren't regular boats from Constanta to Sfantu Gheorghe or Sulina.
But if you have a boat... And if you can except the fact I konw nothing about navigation rules... then I'd tell you Sfantu Gheorghe, then Sulina are in the north of Constanta. Just keep the coast line.
