Boat Privatization in Paris : How It Works
Privatizing a boat in Paris means booking the entire boat for your group only : no other passengers on board, a program fully defined by you, and total freedom over the organization. Here's how it works in practice.

What privatization actually changes
Unlike a shared group cruise, privatization lets you choose the departure time, the route, the duration, the caterer and the decoration. It's the right format whenever an occasion deserves to be celebrated privately : a wedding, a birthday, a seminar or a corporate party.
Which events call for a private boat?
The most common requests involve weddings, birthdays, corporate seminars and bachelorette/bachelor parties. But the format works just as well for a simple dinner among friends or a film shoot.
Small or large group: what's the difference?
Privatization isn't reserved for large events : some boats can be privatized for just a few guests, while others host up to 250 people. The choice of boat mainly comes down to your guest count.
What does privatization cost?
The price varies with the boat, the duration and the catering. Our dedicated pricing page details the ranges and the main cost items to plan for.
