Why rediscover Paris off the beaten path?

Unusual spots in Paris share a common thread: they capture your attention. A privately chartered houseboat fulfills this desire for a different way to experience the capital—one that is both exclusive and deeply Parisian.

The Art of Customization for Your Parisian Getaways

A successful event starts with an organization that adapts—not the other way around. Whether it’s the route along the Seine, the schedule, the duration, or the type of reception, each cruise is tailored to the desired format—whether it’s a seated dinner, a standing cocktail party, or an outing with loved ones. Explore our fleet of boats available for private hire to compare the available configurations based on the number of guests.

Breaking Free from Conventions: The Alternative of an Intimate Interlude

Unlike a traditional reception hall, a privately chartered boat sets its own pace: you’re cut off from the street, the noise, and prying eyes. This sense of privacy—rare to find in a city as densely populated as Paris—is precisely what sets an unusual outing apart from an ordinary one.

The Most Beautiful Panoramic Views of Paris, Away from the Hustle and Bustle

The river offers a view that the street never can: that of a city revealed from its historic center, without the crowds on the riverfront during rush hour.

Admire iconic landmarks from the water

The Eiffel Tower, the Musée d’Orsay, Notre-Dame, and the Institut de France: this cruise showcases Paris’s most iconic landmarks from a perspective that few land-based experiences can offer. See our wedding cruise packages which, incidentally, rely heavily on this visual appeal—highly sought after for wedding photos.

 

Treat yourself to a secluded viewpoint along the river

Beyond the monuments, a whole other side of Paris is revealed: Haussmann-style facades viewed from the water, historic bridges crossed one by one, neighborhoods that take on a different character depending on whether you view them from the street or from the river.

Unusual spots along the banks of the Seine: an experience along the river

The Seine is more than just a backdrop: it shapes the experience itself, setting the pace of the event as the journey unfolds.

Explore the heart of Parisian history and architecture

Every bridge and every pier tells a different chapter in the history of Paris. A private cruise allows you to experience this journey without the time constraints or a predetermined route of a traditional sightseeing cruise.

When the river becomes the most beautiful backdrop for your events

Whether it’s a birthday party or a corporate event, the river provides a setting that doesn’t need any decoration to impress. This is a point we also highlight on our pages dedicated tobirthday parties on the Seine as well as on thebachelorette and bachelor parties on a boat.

Celebrate the Parisian art of living in an extraordinary setting

An unusual venue in Paris is only as good as the experience you have there. Renting out a luxury boat allows you to combine an exceptional setting with a reception planned down to the last detail.

Charter a luxury yacht for an exceptional event

Privatization guarantees a space reserved exclusively for the group, without having to share it with other passengers. This is the ideal format for both a corporate reception and a private event such as a corporate seminar in Paris, where confidentiality and the quality of the hospitality are paramount. Companies looking for a unique setting for their events will also find dedicated options on our page 

Combine gourmet cuisine with a panoramic view of the Seine

A dinner or cocktail party on board is built around a dining experience designed to complement the journey, without ever making the meal merely an afterthought.
