Highlights
  • Statue de la Liberte - Statue of Liberty - view from the boat
    A replica of New York’s Statue of Liberty. This statue is situated on Île aux Cygnes in the Seine, Paris, close to the Eiffel Tower. It is a quarter of the size of the original, weighs 4 tons, and stands 11.5 meters tall.
  • Eiffel Tower - Eiffel Tower - view from the boat
    The most iconic architectural structure in Paris, often seen as a symbol of the city and sometimes of all France. It is the tallest building in Paris and was the tallest in the world when it was constructed.

La Dame de Fer is located in the western part of the city, on the Seine, at the northwestern end of the Champ de Mars.

The tower was built specifically for the 1889 Universal Exhibition of Paris to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. It was intended to showcase the engineering prowess and technical capabilities of the era, symbolizing France’s economic, scientific, and technical strength at the time.

  • Louvre Museum - Louvre Museum - view from the boat
    Once a royal palace, now an art museum, the Louvre is one of the largest and most visited museums in the world. It is a significant landmark in Paris. The Louvre is situated between rue de Rivoli and the right bank of the Seine, and the Tuileries gardens and rue du Louvre in the 1st arrondissement. The complex spans 60,600 square meters and houses around 350,000 artworks from the early to mid-19th century, including world-renowned pieces like the stele with the Code of Hammurabi, Nike of Samothrace, Venus de Milo, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

  • Pont Alexandre III - Alexandre-III Bridge - view from the boat
    A bridge in Paris constructed between 1896 and 1900. It is named after Alexander III Romanov, Emperor of the Russian Empire, whose son and successor, Nicholas II, laid the foundation stone in October 1896. The bridge commemorates the Franco-Russian alliance of 1892. It features emblems of France and the Russian Empire and personifications of the Seine and the Neva.

Engineers Jean Résal and Amédée d’Alby, along with architects Cassien-Bernard and Gaston Cousin, designed the bridge. Alongside the earlier-built Eiffel Tower, it is a prime example of pure metal architecture in Paris.

  • Pont-Neuf - Neuf Bridge - view from the boat
    A 17th-century bridge over the Seine in Paris, linking the Île de la Cité to both the left and right banks of the river. It is the oldest existing bridge in the city and the first stone bridge in Paris.
  • Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris - Notre-Dame cathedral - view from the boat
    One of the world’s most renowned cathedrals, its construction spanned over 180 years (1163-1345). The name means Our Lady, referring to Mary, the Mother of God.
  • Paris Plage - Paris beach - view from the boat
    Paris Plages is an initiative by the mayor’s office that creates temporary artificial beaches each summer along the Seine in central Paris and, since 2007, along the Bassin de la Villette in northeastern Paris. Every July and August, roadways along the Seine are closed to host various activities, including sandy beaches and palm trees.

Additional Information

Welcome to our small family business.

We offer you an unforgettable cruise on the Seine. Your cruise is private.

We have two types of boats. You can see both in the gallery.

The standard boat is the cheapest and smallest boat on the Seine. If price is the most important thing for you - choose a small boat. If comfort is more important than price - choose a slightly more expensive but much more luxurious larger boat. Remember that a small boat does not have a table.
Our small boat still accommodates a maximum of 5 passengers , but we also have new boats, larger, more luxurious, more stable and spacious, great audio system - ones that accommodate 8 passengers.
If you want to choose a luxury boat, choose the option for 6 people or more, it does not matter if you are alone or there are actually 6 people, the cruise is private.
View our boats in the gallery.
Enjoy a tourist cruise and beautiful views of the Seine (Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre 3, New Bridge, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris Plage …)
Excellent as a surprise gift to celebrate a birthday or outing with friends.
Admire the city of love and lights from the water on this Paris cruise. Embark down the Seine, one of the longest rivers in France, and take in Paris’ sights on the riverside, such as the iconic Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame.

Absolutely amazing - If you are traveling to Paris, this is a MUST do! Patricia was amazing and super knowledgeable of the city from the river. We love supporting local businesses. Patricia and her family went above and beyond for our experience. The boat they provided was not what we expected, in the best way possible. An absolutely amazing experience. If you don’t have time to travel on foot to all of the well known sites this is your best option and well worth the $. We honestly were so sad to end our journey. If you travel to Paris and don’t do this I can honestly say you are missing out! Thanks again to Patricia and her family for the amazing hospitality that was provided to my family and I. We were so thankful for our experience and can’t wait to book our next tour when back in Paris!

Personal boat tour of the Seine with fun guide! - Fabulous excursion with Rodo our young guide. Just 4 close friends and he gave us an up close and personal tour of the Seine. All the highlights and he took all the photos for us. Even had some champagne for us withfabulous weather and a fabulous host. It’s a family business and we were happy to help support it. Well, worth the price - get in there, but get the slightly bigger boat for comfort and safety! Fabulous adventure.

Book this tour! - What an amazing night all thanks to Artur and his son! I secretly booked this private boat to propose to my then girlfriend. The communication with Artur was great and very professional leading up to the event. They were able to make accomodations allowing this boat tour to be truly special. Arthur's son was very kind, and funny throughout the ride. But, it was his knowledge of the river and time management that stole the night. He timed the boat passing the Eiffel tower just as it was about to begin sparkling so I could do my proposal. Highly recommend these guys!!!

A must while In Paris! - One of our top experiences in Paris, which is saying a lot given we’re here for the Olympics. Wonderful tour, tailored to all of our preferences, and resulted in some of our best pictures and memories. Would highly recommend and would definitely do again if ever in Paris in the future. Thank you Artur and family for such a wonderful evening on the river!

Amazing Private Boat Tour of Paris - We had the best time with Rado for our night time cruise on the Seine. The surprise beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic options) and snacks were such a delight! He was so friendly and helpful and seeing the city at night from the boat was so special. We are glad the that owner of the boat suggested we go for the bigger boat as opposed to the smaller one we had originally booked. You get surprise beverages and snacks AND Rado is a wonderful photographer and takes the best pics of the group and then airdrops the photos to you at the end. 10/10 recommend this tour!
