Additional Information

Welcome to 2024! Our small family company is undergoing significant changes. After extensive renovations and fleet upgrades, all our boats are now luxurious! Starting in May 2024, every boat will feature a roof to shield you from the sun and rain. Our small boat remains luxurious and still accommodates up to 5 passengers, but we now also offer larger, more luxurious boats that can hold 8 passengers. Check out our boats in the gallery. Enjoy a scenic cruise and stunning views of the Seine, including the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre III, New Bridge, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Paris Plage. This experience makes an excellent surprise gift for birthdays or outings with friends. Admire the city of love and lights from the water on this Paris cruise. Embark on a journey down the Seine, one of France’s longest rivers, and take in the riverside sights like the iconic Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Hop on board at Port Javel Haut in Paris, facing the Statue of Liberty. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks to enhance your trip. Pets are also welcome. First, you’ll cruise past the Statue of Liberty monument, followed by the Eiffel Tower, Alexander III Bridge, Orsay Museum, and the Louvre. The boat will pass under the historic Pont Neuf, Europe’s oldest stone bridge and the first bridge in Paris. Just beyond it, you’ll get a unique view of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Paris Plages, a famous artificial beach along the Seine. After your scenic cruise around Paris, you’ll return to the Port of Javel Bas. Please download the Google Maps application and open the link I will send you in a message. This is the correct location for our trip. Please use only my location. Don’t forget to bring a phone with service for Google Maps to find the meeting spot. At the location, head to the riverbank and look for your small boat. Please don’t be late. Remember, it’s a big city with traffic and taxi issues. Arrive 15 minutes early at the meeting point. For Shared Cruises, we cannot wait for latecomers (no refunds or rescheduling for late arrivals—zero tolerance), as on-time passengers often request that the service proceed as scheduled. For private cruises, we wait for latecomers for a maximum of 60 minutes (this will shorten the cruise time). If you don’t show up, there is no refund. The tour lasts 1.5 hours. See you soon!

Best way to see the Paris - What a lovely welcome to Paris! We were able to relax and see so many sights from the river. The boat was very comfortable with such a friendly guide. Also thank you for the special drinks and cookies. This experience was my favorite part of the trip!

Highly recommended, personalized boat tour experience - We really enjoyed the experience from being with a smaller group, which made it way more personal. The captain took dozens of photos of us and shared them with us afterwards. Would book again.

Personal, thoughtful and fun - best private trip in Paris! - I took my daughter (9) on a trip with Arturo at the beginning of June, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our weekend in Paris. I did a lot of research in advance, having gone with one of the bigger boats on a previous trip to Paris but the recent reviews regarding crowds, queuing and value for money put me off. This private trip, that we shared with one other family, was absolute value for money - from the minute I booked, it felt personal, thoughtful and fun. The trip itself was nearly 90 minutes covering all the sights along the Seine but also with lots of extra knowledge from Arturo, surprise snacks, incredible photos at just the right spots, and a relaxed personal vide all round. If you can stretch your budget from the bigger boats to this private one, then I would highly recommend going with Arturo. You will create amazing memories.

Horrible experience - It’s taken me a few weeks to be able to process the experience I had on this excursion. I thought that booking a semi-private tour of the river with my teenage daughter would give us some quality time and some peace in the busy landscape of Paris in the summer. From the second we met our captain/owner of the company, we were hounded with (berated) requests that we not ask him to take any photos. Apparently, he had received a bad review from someone (an Influencer) who was upset that he did not play photographer. We assured him over and over that we would not request any photos. He also was adamant that we not get up and “rock the boat.” Again, we assured him that we understood his direction. Nothing we said would suffice. He yelled at us to pay attention to him and would not stop directing us on simple things that we promised to obey. We ended up getting off the tour after 20 minutes when another guest was seasick and needed to depart. Please do not support this business. It was a horrible experience.
