Our JP's Boats: immersion on board

Posted at 17 Feb 2026 by Jean-Pierre Reading time: 2min

Some experiences are as much about living them as they are about watching them. Embarking with JP's Boat is not just about sailing on the Seine: it's about treating yourself to a break in the heart of Paris, where the city reveals itself at its most beautiful, as you glide along the water.

At JP's Boat, we have designed our cruises to be special moments that are simple, elegant and welcoming. To ensure that everyone can experience Paris on the Seine, we offer two private boats with two complementary atmospheres: the Burma and the Pontoon Boat.

The same promise: a private cruise on the Seine, just for you.

Before talking about the boats, let's talk about the essentials: the JP's Boat spirit. Our outings are designed as private cruises on the Seine — far from standardised tourist formats — with a single priority: to give you a different experience of Paris, in an intimate and fluid atmosphere.

On board, the pace changes. Bridges draw closer, facades light up, reflections dance on the water... and time slows down. That's the JP's Boat experience: a private boat trip in Paris where you can enjoy yourself to the fullest, at your own pace, in a small group.

The Pontoon Boat: the friendly boat, perfect for sharing

The Pontoon Boat is the boat for laughter, conversation and spontaneous moments. It's the boat you choose when you want to celebrate without complicating your life, in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

With a capacity of up to 12 people, it is ideal for:

  • an aperitif cruise on the Seine with friends

  • an after-work gathering or small group outing

  • a birthday cruise in Paris

  • a convivial family moment

Its great advantage is the feeling of closeness and simplicity it offers: you get together, raise a glass, chat and enjoy yourself. And because it's a more ‘human’ format, the experience is more like a private getaway than a classic tourist activity.

The Burma: luxury, elegance and intimacy

The Burma is the other side of JP's Boat: a more intimate, premium experience, designed for those who want to mark the occasion.

It is a Dutch motorboat with a refined style that can accommodate up to 8 people. On board, the atmosphere is more intimate and exclusive — perfect for special occasions and exceptional moments.

The Burma is ideal for:

  • a romantic cruise in Paris

  • a cruise for two in Paris

  • a trip on the Seine for couples

  • a VIP surprise or a marriage proposal

When evening comes, everything becomes magical, especially during a cruise on the Seine at sunset or at night: Paris is transformed into a backdrop, the lights outline the city, and the moment becomes rare.

Iconic itineraries in the heart of Paris

Whatever the atmosphere you choose, the Seine puts on a show. You will pass through the most iconic parts of Paris: majestic bridges, monuments, façades, reflections... The setting is naturally magnificent.

And for a particularly spectacular introduction, many of our passengers love the idea of a Paris Pont Alexandre III cruise: one of the most elegant and photogenic spots in the capital, perfect for starting with a real ‘wow effect’.

Tailor-made formats: aperitif, dinner, gift, event

Our boats allow us to tailor the experience to the occasion, with great flexibility:

  • aperitif format: aperitif cruise on the Seine

  • more relaxed format: dinner on a private boat on the Seine

  • surprises & celebrations: birthdays, marriage proposals, romantic moments

  • gifts: gift idea: a cruise on the Seine or offer a cruise on the Seine

JP's Boat also caters to professionals: for an original and rewarding experience, our cruises are ideal for corporate cruises on the Seine, corporate evenings on a boat in Paris or team building on the Seine.

Two boats, two atmospheres... one signature: JP's Boat

With the Pontoon Boat and Le Burma, our intention remains the same: to offer an authentic, elegant, accessible and memorable experience in the heart of Paris.

Whether you are looking for a fun group outing or a premium experience for two, there is a JP's Boat way to discover Paris: on the water, far from the crowds, in a bubble that belongs only to you.

Want to come aboard?

Whether you're looking for an unusual cruise in Paris, a private boat hire in Paris to celebrate a special occasion, or a romantic evening on the Seine, we'd be delighted to welcome you aboard the Pontoon Boat or the Burma.
