Which boat should you hire for 80 people in Paris? Preparing a large-scale event without losing flow
With 80 people, the boat becomes almost a small reception venue in its own right. Guests do not all stay in the same place, and the organisation has to allow for several uses at once. This is where the choice of configuration really comes into its own.
The barges offered by Sein'ario can hold from 40 to 250 people. For 80 guests, you are therefore in the range of the more spacious boats, with possibilities that vary according to the model and the layout.

Think about the spaces before the decoration
At this size, you first need to know where people will sit, move around, eat or chat. The decoration comes afterwards. The idea is to keep passageways practical enough throughout the event.
A seated dinner takes real organisation
Tables and chairs quickly take up a significant part of the space. For a cocktail reception, the organisation will be different. The thing to check, then, is the configuration available for the chosen format.
Plan for the highlights of the reception
Speeches, entertainment, music or a change of pace may need a dedicated space. With 80 people, these details have a far more visible impact than with a small group.
Choosing a barge according to how you will use it
The stated capacity is a first benchmark. After that, you need to look at the layout of the spaces and the planned running order. It is this combination that lets you find a boat that fits a reception for 80 people.
