Private Boat Trip in Paris

This private boat was an absolute dream and a true highlight of our stay in Paris. Ettore was so welcoming and made sure that we were all comfortable and taken care of. His knowledge of the city is next level and he made it entertaining for our toddlers as well. He was funny and accommodated any requests we had, especially when we wanted to get “the picture” of the Eiffel Tower. I would highly recommend!

We would give it 4 stars because Philippe was great but the weather was awful. It was windy, rainy and cold. It was a pretty expensive adventure so I had reached out in advance asking if the sunset tour would be canceled if the weather didn’t cooperate and was just told I could cancel up to 24 hours in advance. So then I asked if that meant the boat was covered because I’d hate to cancel if the weather was dry. I never got an answer and it was too late to cancel. When we got to the dock we were sure the tour would be canceled as there was no coverage of the boat. Poor Philippe was drying off the seats and it just kept raining. There were 4 of us and just 2 light acrylic blankets that got soaked. We held umbrellas but the wind and cold was just too uncomfortable so we got off the boat early. I’d say either book this tour last minute or make sure you have winter coats and hats - we had rain gear and gloves but it just wasn’t enough. We were very disappointed and wished if the tour operators weren’t going to cancel the tour, they should have at least been prepared with waterproof blankets and some sort of coverage.

Our captain was super helpful and kind. Lovely way to see the Seine with a picnic. Amazing shots of the Eiffel Tower. We were lucky as no rain. Might be different if it rained as there was no cover, highly recommend taking a platter and champers. It was perfect for our family having the private time.

It's very easy to take a cheap tour of the River Seine, on one of the larger boats with hundreds of other tourists - but this is class! Expensive - but provided there are 4 or 5 of you the cost becomes reasonable per person. Specifically we paid about £400 for four of us to have a 2 hr 10 min tour as shown in the illustration. It was our one "treat" of the holiday - so we thought it was worthwhile. They go much further along the Seine than the bigger boats. Philippe (our captain) was really friendly, chatty if we wanted to chat, and pointed out all the main sights. He was also great at taking a few photos of us on board! We were blessed with superb weather - but the boat doesn't have a great deal of cover so if it is rainy you are likely to get wet! The number of people allowed depends on the type of tour you are doing. Max for us was 5, but they are licensed for up to 9. Highly recommended.

Phillipe was punctual, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the city. Provided a wonderful ride on the Seine and was able to time going past Eiffel Tower to time it lit up and sparked at after sunset.

We had a great time! The weather was perfect, and Ettore was informative and friendly. He provided us with plates, napkins and cups for our snacks and wine we brought onboard. The boat was comfortable. I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone wanting a private experience on the Seine River in Paris!

Great experience. Always a pleasure to sail in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world:) Captain at the top!!!

We took a seine cruise with Ettore on May 25th. He's engaging, informative and a fun guide to take us on our two hour tour down the Seine. We brought wine and cheese on board and he was helpful and had plates and supplies for us if needed. Thanks Ettore for a great time and would fully recommend this for a group or individuals.

Great private Seine river cruise! Ettore is a great guide and really cares about making your experience memorable! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great private cruise on the Seine

Outstanding experience, Ernesto was engaging, funny, knowledgeable and motivated to see that we had a safe and fun experience.....plus we learned a lot....great experience & well worth the price!
