One of the best experiences in Paris. If you haven't been on a river cruise (or even if you have), Yachts de Paris is definitely worth trying. The cruise/water is smooth, staff is friendly, food is amazing (especially for a river cruise) and the evening scenery is breathtaking. With the right company/friends or for a moment of quiet solace, this river cruise is one of the best. Enjoy!

I will NEVER forget our experience here at Yacht de Paris. This is where my Fiance proposed to me on September 14, 2015 "OUR PROPOSAL VIDEO" https://youtu.be/hFWo75VtVyk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFWo75VtVyk Food was incredibly DELICIOUS. BEST FOOD WE'VE EVER HAD. Yacht was SO BEAUTIFUL! Staff has the best customer service. Everyone speaks english Yacht de Paris was the MOST ROMANTIC DINNER EXPERIENCE we've ever had and if we have a chance to visit Paris, France again, we will do visit this place again. Thank you everyone for giving us the best proposal day ever.

A little over a year ago I began planning my sister's Parisian wedding. The wonderful staff at Yachts de Paris made everything easy, comfortable, and stunning. I worked with Aglae and Aurore for the initial contracts and billing. I worked with Jessica and Anais for the planning of the details. No matter when I emailed or what I asked they were always friendly, responsive, and offered wonderful suggestions. On the wedding day we heard that traffic was a nightmare. Apparently all of the traffic was in getting to our hotel and not getting to the dock. We arrived very early and had to wait alongside the dock for a bit. The staff of Yachts de Paris (especially Isabelle) were gracious in letting us on board a little early even though they were still setting up. At 7:00 pm I helped bring my sister up onto the top deck of the yacht and watched her walk down the aisle to her future husband. Immediately after the ceremony we enjoyed cocktail hour with champagne, an open bar, and passed hor d' oeurves. We then watched as the couple had stunning photographs taken of them before taking group photos. At 8:30 pm we went down into the dining room for a 4 course meal. Our starter was an Antipasti with Buffalo Mozzarella (Foie Gras for those with a dairy allergy). Our entree was Veal vegetables (Hake for dairy allergy). Next was a Cheese Course. For dessert we enjoyed the Power of Chocolate (Fruit Salad for dairy allergy). The food was elegantly presented, beautifully seasoned, and perfect portions. Guests raved about the food especially the veal. In between the courses we enjoyed several speeches (even one from me which I'm petrified to do) and a couple of special dances. Isabelle and our wedding singer were very helpful in the timing of these events. Next came the incredible cake ceremony (with sparklers and all). After dinner it was time to dance! We enjoyed music from a DJ as well as a singer. The evening was truly magical!

We took the Don Juan 2 dinner cruise Second to the last night of our stay in Paris. I cannot say enough good things about the food and the experience. The crew started with seating us on the upper deck with glasses of champagne & appetizers. The staff offered to take our picture with our phone when they noticed we were attempting poorly to do so ourselves. Once on our way the staff or ushered us downstairs to our table, all of them have an awesome view. As the sunset we ate the most spectacular meal we've ever eaten watching the Seine come alive. I cannot emphasize this enough, the experience was awesome but the food was incredible! I will remember this meal for the rest of my life. After the main course, perfectly timed, we pull up to the Eiffel Tower on the hour, when its lights sparkle for a minute. We were given warm blankets and escorted to the upper deck where everyone gasped over the beauty of Paris at night. we returned below deck for a cheese course and then dessert and coffee. The staff asked if we needed a cab and called ahead so one would be ready when we disembarked. Everything was perfectly timed down to the moment. If you ever want to propose or have a romantic moment this is the cruise for you! I went with my friend and we left our husbands at home, Lol, but I have to say at that moment I missed him horribly

I can't understand how this gets more than one star. The maitre d was an ass...the rest of the service was ok...the food was embarrassingly bad - gagged. How dare they charge what they charged! Total rip off and pretty much in edible. I could have had four amazing meals and feel stupid for thinking this was a good idea. Ugh. Totally now worth it.

We were aboard this boat 10 yrs earlier and wanted another experience. As before...very professional crew and solid food. It's beautiful to see Paris' famous attractions from the perspective of the Seine, at night. 270€ per person for tasting menu (including drinks)

A great cruise to see Paris at night, very romantic, and great crew. They were able to locate my cellphone which I left in the car they had provided.

The ambiance was enchanting, the service was impeccable, and the cuisine exceeded all expectations. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the chef's creativity and culinary expertise. The attention to detail and the exquisite flavors made it a truly memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return and savor the exceptional dishes again.

• Elena0103 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing dinner Great food experience. Firstly you have a cruise on the river. Only few moments to improve: 1 boat team could be more proactive to offer a blanket to cover shoulders as it’s cold in the evening outside of the boat (we were cold, and we didn’t know there are blankets). 2 boat roof top chairs in plastic are too cheap and not complicated for such restaurant experience. All the rest is great! Read more Written October 10, 2023
• TeresaB25 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Every superlative deserved! We were worried that we’d be a bit weary our first night in Paris but this dinner cruise ended up being one of our favorite experiences. We were welcomed by gracious staff and seated on the rooftop bar for cocktails. When we entered the boat for dinner, we were served the best meal among many great meals in Paris. The portions were small and interesting, the wine pairing delicious. It’s hard to select a favorite course. You will love it! Read more Written May 14, 2023
• karon526 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A perfect celebration for a special occasion We celebrated our engagement with my parents on Don Juan II and it was incredible. The staff was extremely attentive - our boat was not full so there was actually more staff than attendees. Every table looks out the windows for an incredible view. They time the tour accordingly so you are right under the Eiffel Tower at night when the lights sparkle and it provides a perfect backdrop for photos (which they are also able to take for you if you want, although for a hefty charge). The food was very good as was the wine, I enjoyed every course. I would definitely recommend this for a special occasion or elevated experience while in Paris! Read more Written March 7, 2020

Once the other 14 guests arrived, we settled into our beautifully set table and enjoyed a wonderful meal and excellent wine (very good wine list) Would highly recommend this excursion...nice way to end a lovely day in Paris....

• pgilbert9350 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Substantial decline in quality since 2012 My husband and I had an awesome dinner on the Don Juan II (Yachtes de Paris) back in 2012. The food was wonderful. The service was outstanding. And, the view of the Parisian buildings was magical. So, I was hoping to wow my mother and sister on our visit to Paris this past week. The only thing that didn't change was the view of the Parisian buildings. The service kept getting our requirements mixed up (no CRAB and no veal and one of us was ok with fois gras). In addition, my chicken breast was very tough. I don't know if the Yachtes de Paris has changed chefs but if so, the management needs to consider another change. Very Disappointed.

• JoshL2406 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Exceptional Not sure what anyone could find to complain about as this is a wonderful experience. The good was excellent, the Yacht and service are manificent. Be sure to switch off the light on the photo on the wall next to your table as, when on, it reflects the photo into the view window and disrupts the view. The staff is incredible and treated us like royalty. And yes there's an onboard photographer and yes the photos are pricey but you spent all that money to come to Paris, didn't you? Don't listen to the complainers, they likely aren't happy anywhere. This is a wonderful experience. Read more Written September 23, 2018

• sarafinadh 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Top Flight Tourist Trap Not much of a crowd joiner. But Himself wanted to do a Seine cruise on this trip since I stonewalled the last time we were here. I figured if I could stand Moulin Rouge I could stand a cheesy boat ride, right? I was so very pleasantly surprised by our experience on the Don Juan II. The boat (keel laid in 1921) is immaculate, the dining room is small and has only 8 or 10 tables. Everything is very luxe and carefully presented. We were a party of 4 and the first to arrive. We took seats on the top deck and had drinks and lovely little hors d'oeuvres. The photographer was a bit of an annoyance to me, but I suspect many passengers like the feature. In any event she was very courteous and left when we had had enough. We launched on time and set out up river a short way. The staff provides a quiet low key commentary and as we cruised by one of the Bateau Mouches I offered up my thanks to my husband for arranging such a nice evening for us and said how happy I was to 'not' be on that boat! Shortly we turned around and headed down river. We would reach the little Statue of Liberty and be below the Tour d'Eiffel before we turned once again and headed up river to dock at the end of the evening. We were escorted down to a lovely dinner in the dinning room and all of the courses were delicious. Again, much better quality that what I expected on such a touristy thing. Service was impeccable as well. The only thing I didn't love was the chicken breast. They were a tiny bit over cooked which left them a bit dry and not very tender. Happily the breast was served with a thigh confit that was delicious and we just left the breast and enjoyed the thigh. The servings were generous so no one is going to leave hungry. Dessert was the bomb, with a delectable little iced macaron as the piece d' resistance. So Good! Sometimes you just have to suck it up and own being a tourist. The Don Juan allows you to do it in style and enjoy the experience! Read more Written May 9, 2018
• mwflanders 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles A great evening spoiled by greedy operator The operators went to considerable efforts to make this an outstanding trip. Brilliant service and first class food. Almost faultless. What a shame that we decided to make the evening really special and book the hotel to boat pick up. Yachts de Paris charged 140 euro for this service. At the end of the boat trip we were informed that the taxi was one way only and we would have to pay again for a taxi back to our hotel. The boat called a ‘normal’ taxi which charged only 23 euros. This just highlighted how much they had ripped us off in the first place. Read more Written April 7, 2018

Yacht Club de France: private visit of a prestigious institution

The Yacht Club de France welcomes its five hundred current members at number 41 on the famous Avenue Foch, in the chic 16th arrondissement of Paris, surprisingly far from any waterfront. A prestigious address, for an institution that is open to all sailing enthusiasts.

For 150 years, in the service of yachting ..

The story begins in the middle of the 19th century. In France, people then discovered sailing for pleasure: the first canoes attracted onlookers to the Seine... Water sports also developed, which it gradually became necessary to organize. Thus, on 15 June 1867, at the Ministry of the Navy, and under the aegis of Emperor Napoleon III, the "Société d'Encouragement pour la Navigation de Plaisance" was founded. An official name to which will be added, a few months later, on November 11th precisely, the more attractive name of "Yacht Club de France". Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, then Minister of the Navy, was its first President. The association , recognized as a public utility in 1914, is the guardian of the "values and traditions of sailing and motor yachting, whether regatta or cruise", and of a certain ethic that is linked to it. In short, solidarity, courtesy and moral elegance make up this art of living at sea, which is well and truly defended!

Today, the YCF, in the heart of the French boating landscape

After more than 150 years of existence, the Club has kept the same ambitions, adapted to the evolution of yachting of course. The aim is to "promote, at a national level, sailing and yacht building in all its forms, and, beyond that, to contribute to the training of sailors". Managed by a president, Philippe Heral, an office, a board of directors, and various commissions, dedicated to heritage, navigation, the Club's restaurant, events at sea or on land... It should be noted that the YCF maintains close links with 32 allied Yacht Clubs in France and 25 abroad. In short, over the years it has become a de facto representative to the public authorities in the world of yachting , which is nowadays populated by five million French people!

Such illustrious members!

The Club had as many as 2000 members in the early 20th century, when it also looked after the wards of the sea. Today, there are 500 sea and marine enthusiasts to be members. Among the most illustrious members of the Club, great sailors, winners of the greatest races, marine painters, great writers, academics... let's mention Jules Verne, Virginie Hériot, Guy de Maupassant, Gustave Caillebotte, Alain Gerbault, Commander Charcot, Marin-Marie, Éric Tabarly, Olivier de Kersauson , Jean-Louis Étienne, Michel Desjoyaux, Franck Cammas . And for the honorary members: Queen Elizabeth of England, King Juan Carlos of Spain , King Constantine II of Greece , the Prince of Monaco, the Aga Khan Prince... Of course, the vast majority of the members are simply common mortals! They are not all Parisians, or even Parisian. Some even come from abroad

Between image and reality..

Sébastien David, Vice-President in charge of Communication of the YCF, says: "You are all potential future members! Admission is not that complicated", he defends. It is done through two sponsors, and is submitted to an Interior Commission and then to a Council. "There is no need for you to own a yacht, big or small, or to collect civil, citizen or military recognitions," he adds. "The only thing that matters is adherence to the values that the club defends and the willingness to "serve" to defend them, both at sea and on land. If Sébastien is so insistent, it's because the YCF is often perceived as a dusty and stuffy institution. An image that does not reflect the truth for Sebastien. "It's young and happy too! ».

Attractive values?

In fact, the club can be proud, unlike many associations, to see its membership grow. "In this day and age, where there is a lot of pecking around and relative involvement, that's a great achievement, isn't it? Sébastien adds, "This success can be explained, no doubt because our values attract, because they correspond to certain aspirations of the population. It is true that parity has not really been achieved among the members, since only a few dozen women are members, but the doors of the YCF are wide open to them. It is also a concrete offer of activities that seems to appeal to the members..

What the YCF offers its members

According to Sébastien, the Club's activity rests on three main pillars. Firstly, the social life it generates for its members. Conferences and meetings, prestigious competitions, meetings of maritime clubs or institutions, monthly cocktail parties, exhibitions... are on the programme. The Club is also at the origin of outings at sea for the sole pleasure of sailing as well as regattas. For example, the French Sailing Cup, created by the Club in 1891 (which makes it one of the oldest sailing trophies in Europe) as France's response to the America's Cup . Currently on hold, the Club has plans to revive it.

Acting and conserving

Another example is the YCF Autumn Cup, which offers traditional sailboats that participated in the "Régates Royales" in Cannes, the opportunity to race Saint-Tropez and its "Voiles". Also to be mentioned are the races initiated or sponsored by the Club: the Spring Cup, the Virginie Hériot Cup, the Ganay Cup, the Riban Etoilé Motonautique, the Tour de France à la Voile , the Régates Royales, the events organized by the Allied Clubs... Finally, the Club has a heritage mission that it carries out by collecting objects and documents retracing the history of yachting . It is notably through its library that it fulfils this mission

A renowned library

It is one of the richest in Europe on these themes of the sea and yachting . In its glazed shelves, all in wood varnished in a warm caramel colour, it conceals treasures... For proof, these logbooks of the famous sailor Virginie Hériot, who won the Olympic Games in 1928 in Amsterdam on board her yacht L'Ailée VI. For examples also the logbook of Charcot, writings by Jules Verne, others by Commandant Caillebotte. The copies of "Le Yacht", since its creation, those of the members' directories, and those also of the Bulletin published since 1902, are also of great value. Registers of identification of boats in the world, published by Lloyds insurance, when the ships were still possible to be counted, also enrich the collection! Modern books, naval architects' plans... complete the collection, which, due to lack of space, is still sometimes in boxes. If this library is one of the most important pieces of the Club, there are at least three others that are worth a visit

Elegant and friendly premises

After a few Parisian addresses, the YCF has moved to rented premises of 550 m2 for the past 20 years. It has therefore been occupying the ground floor of a superb building in western Paris for twenty years. After an imposing porch, we enter an entrance surrounded by doors: here we discover the first elements of this collection of written documents, photos, paintings, iconographies, models, half-shells... which make up the delightful decoration of the premises. It is on the portrait of the very first president of the Club, Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, that the gaze is first directed. We then admire the first of a long series of delicate models: well sheltered under its glass bell represents Virginie Hériot's Wing. And, like stripes on the walls, tapering half-shells of varnished wood are presented one above the other up to the high ceiling

See you at the big lounge

In the large reception room, the high walls and ceilings are decorated with mouldings, bas-reliefs, mirrors and paintings. Some are by the famous painter of the Navy, Marin-Marie, who was a member of the Club. Tables and sideboards hold cups and trophies. Models of ships still also. And large French windows open onto a green, almost country garden in the heart of Paris.

From the entrance there is a staircase leading to the bar. Step by step , one discovers a whole series of black and white photographic portraits of the presidents of the Club since its creation.

Cognac-coloured, deep and comfortable armchairs and sofas, wooden bar, walls covered with frames protecting photos, engravings, paintings, showing boats all sails outside: the bar proves to be very convivial!

Eating out among ourselves

Finally the large dining room and its refined decoration. With its mirrored doors, it seems very large, but in reality remains on a human scale. Between its marbled walls, its small intimate tables with impeccable dressage and its upholstered chairs welcome members and their guests. On the tablecloths, cutlery with the navy's coat of arms announces gourmet meals. "These are four very convivial places to live," says Sébastien, who can be reserved by our members and where room is also left for the major players in the yachting industry
