Four boats — live availability

Four boats, your group only.

Several private departures a day, run with two riverboat operators we have worked with for years and trust completely.

Open-top boat · up to 121 hour

Open-Top Cruise from the Louvre

From the foot of the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower and back: the Musée d’Orsay, the Pont Alexandre III, the Grand Palais and the tower itself. Your captain narrates as you go.

Priced per guest with a minimum of six. A smaller party? Simply select six and the boat is yours. More than twelve, or something bespoke: enquire.

Elegant covered boat · up to 121½ hours

Ultimate Luxury Elegant Covered Cruise

The more luxurious boat: a retractable panoramic roof, a proper salon and an onboard restroom, summer or winter. Ninety minutes with champagne and macarons on board: the Eiffel Tower one way, the islands and Notre-Dame on the way back. One price for the boat, up to 12 guests.

The boat is yours whether you are two or twelve. Champagne and macarons included. More than twelve, or something bespoke: enquire.

Teak launch · up to 61½ hours

Intimate Teak Launch Cruise

A sleek teak-decked launch with quilted leather seating, for up to six: a couple, a family, a few friends. Ninety minutes on the water with rosé and macarons on board, departing just west of the Eiffel Tower, with your captain narrating.

Up to six guests, rosé and macarons included. Pressed for time? We can disembark just outside the Louvre instead, though it shortens the cruise by a few minutes.

Open-deck launch · up to 121½ hours

Open-Deck Launch Cruise

The larger sister of the teak launch: an open deck with lounge seating around a table, for up to twelve. Ninety minutes with rosé and macarons on board, departing just west of the Eiffel Tower, so the tower is the first thing you see. One price for the boat.

The boat is yours whether you are two or twelve. Rosé and macarons included. Pressed for time? We can disembark just outside the Louvre instead, though it shortens the cruise by a few minutes.

Enquire

Something bespoke?

More than twelve, a longer route, a proposal to plan. Tell us and we confirm within the day.

Larger boats · private events

For up to 150 guests, the whole boat is yours.

Company evenings, weddings, milestone birthdays. Larger boats with a dinner, a tasting or a party on board, composed around your group.

We reply within a day with boats and ideas.

Pick your time

The same river, four different cities.

MorningQuiet water, the quais to yourselves, the Musée d’Orsay catching the first light.
AfternoonSun on the deck, a glass poured, the Eiffel Tower in full view.
SunsetGolden hour on Notre-Dame and the islands as the stone turns warm.
Night lightsEvery bridge lit, the gilded statues glowing, the tower sparkling on the hour.

At sunset and after dark: a canopy of twinkling lights: reflections off the gold dome of Les Invalides, the searchlight of the Eiffel Tower looking for love, the crackle of the lights of the Pont Alexandre III at sunset. Paris begins to glitter.
