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 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.
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.
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 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.
Pick your time
The same river, four different cities.
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.
