A private boat in Paris for a small group: from 2 to 20 people

Private boat hire is often associated with large groups: weddings, seminars, birthday parties for 100 guests. But hiring a whole boat works just as well - and sometimes even better - for a very small group, from two people to around twenty.

Why hire a private boat for a small group rather than book seats

For a small group, there are two options: book a few seats on a shared group cruise, or hire an entire boat suited to your group's size. The second option gives you complete freedom: a time of your choosing, a personalised menu, no other passengers, and a service devoted entirely to your group.

Which occasions suit a small-group format

• A romantic dinner or an intimate gathering - a couple's anniversary, Valentine's Day, a quiet moment together.
• A small family get-together - Mother's Day, a birthday, a reunion.
• A small business meeting - a business lunch, hosting a client or a small group of partners.
• A small group of friends - a spontaneous outing, a reunion, a low-key birthday.

Which boat for a small group

A more compact boat than a large event barge generally suits a small group better: the atmosphere stays warm without the space feeling too big for the number of guests. Depending on fleet availability, we will point you towards the boat whose size genuinely matches your group, rather than defaulting to our largest vessel.

A more accessible budget than you might think

Many people wrongly assume that hiring a whole boat is only an option for large events: for a small group, the total cost, once shared between guests, is often close to that of a good restaurant in Paris - while offering a far more exclusive experience.
