Which boat should you hire for 150 people in Paris? A large reception that needs to be planned down to the details

With 150 people, you're clearly in the realm of large receptions. Guests naturally spread out into several groups, and the boat needs to support that movement. A successful evening therefore also comes down to very practical details: where do people arrive, where do they settle in, where does the meal take place and how do they get to the entertainment?

The barges offered by Sein'ario accommodate between 40 and 250 people. A capacity of 150 people therefore sits comfortably within this range. The exact choice then depends on the boat and the layout you want.

With 150 people, the boat layout really matters

Overall capacity provides a first indication, but the distribution of the spaces helps you understand how the event will work. The idea is to visualise how people will move around before choosing the boat.

Dinner, cocktail or party: three different layouts

A sit-down dinner uses space around the tables. A cocktail requires more circulation areas. An evening with music or entertainment also needs to retain space suitable for those activities.

Plan the moments when everyone needs to come together

Speeches, a presentation, a group photo or a key moment may require a clear and visible area. The point to check is whether you can bring everyone together without obstructing the other functions of the reception.

For 150 people, choose with the programme in front of you

A large capacity mainly calls for precise preparation. The boat needs to match the number of guests, but also the furniture, the pace of the event and the different spaces required.
