01 · In a sentence

Yachts de Paris in Paris, open JuneSeptember.

Yachts de Paris offers an extraordinary riverside setting along the Seine at Port Henri IV, where elegantly moored vessels serve as both ceremony backdrop and reception spaces.

Guests experience unobstructed views of Paris's historic architecture and flowing water, creating a dynamic visual canvas that shifts throughout the day.

The venue combines the sophistication of maritime elegance with the cultural heart of the Marais district.

Exceptional 5-star experience! My husband and I did the NYE dinner cruise to ring in 2026. I didn’t expect a lot because these boats can be touristy. But we were pleasantly surprised and impressed from the moment we stepped onto the Mirage. Our server, Thomas, was a consummate professional throughout the evening. Our champagne glasses were never empty. The food was excellent too. I have a dairy intolerance, and the chef prepared a special dairy-free menu that I could enjoy. They timed the cruise perfectly so we were directly in front of the Eiffel Tower at midnight! The DJ music/vibe was so much fun, and we danced until almost 2 AM. Then they called us a cab to get us safely back to our hotel. It was truly an epic night!! I’m so glad we booked with Yachts de Paris!
