Organizing a corporate seminar on a boat in Paris : a real change of scenery
Taking a seminar outside the usual company walls often changes the group's dynamic: a private boat on the Seine offers a different working environment, free of the distractions of a transit venue, with a genuine sense of togetherness built into the day.

Why a boat rather than a classic seminar venue
A private boat offers what a hotel meeting room can't replicate: a space entirely closed off from the outside world for the duration of the cruise (no other groups, no coming and going), and a change of scenery that often helps teams step out of their everyday office routine.
Which seminar formats work on board
- Working day with presentations — a U-shape or theater setup in a glazed lounge, with a screen and sound system for speakers.
- Incentive seminar — alternating work sessions with team-building moments (meals, free time on deck), to reward a team or kick off a new year.
- Strategic half-day — a shorter format, often reserved for the leadership committee, combining work and an onboard lunch.
Equipment available on board
Our boats come with an integrated sound system (amp, wireless microphone) suited to speeches, along with modular spaces that can accommodate a presentation screen. For more advanced audiovisual needs (projector, sound mixing), we can help coordinate additional equipment ahead of the event — just let us know your requirements when requesting a quote.
Catering and timing for a seminar day
Catering usually paces the day: a welcome coffee, a seated lunch or buffet mid-program, and sometimes a closing cocktail. The catering format is timed to the seminar schedule so it doesn't break the rhythm of the work sessions.
What capacity for your team
As with any event, the number of participants shapes the choice of boat and layout: a small team settles comfortably into an intimate format, while a seminar bringing together several departments calls for a larger-capacity barge, with enough room to alternate work and social time.
