Ideally for 2 to 12 guests, La Pinasse offers intimate comfort, elegant proportions, and a setting made for memorable private moments.
The pinasse is a traditional and iconic boat of the Arcachon Bay area in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. First appearing in the 18th century, it was originally used by local sailors to navigate the shallow waters of the bay. Featuring a wooden hull and a slender, elegant silhouette, the pinasse is distinguished by its harmoniously arranged open spaces, separated by a charming little cabin, as well as by its exceptional manoeuvrability.
A true symbol of France’s maritime heritage, it combines functionality and elegance, offering a refined silhouette, clean lines and natural charm.
This Pinasse combines traditional elegance with artisanal craftsmanship. Its slender silhouette, hand-crafted wooden cabin and bespoke finishes are testament to its refined construction. Crafted from carefully selected fine timbers, it combines the warmth of solid wood, high-quality slatted decks and precision joinery to create a boat that is authentic, durable and elegant.
The cruise begins beneath the historic bridges of the Île Saint-Louis, before revealing the majestic silhouette of Notre-Dame Cathedral. From the Seine, the monument feels timeless - reflected in the moving water as the evening light softens across the stone façades.
More intimate. More silent. Almost unreal.
Along the journey, Paris unfolds like a cinematic décor: ornate bridges, hidden riverbanks, glowing façades and the quiet rhythm of life along the Seine.
Then comes the most iconic moment of the experience.
In the distance, the Eiffel Tower gradually rises above the river, illuminated by the warm light of sunset or the sparkling atmosphere of the Parisian night. La Pinasse approaches slowly, allowing time to fully absorb the scene - champagne in hand, reflections dancing across the varnished wood, the city glowing around you.
From the very first moments aboard La Pinasse,
Paris feels different.
Your private journey aboard La Pinasse begins at Quai François Mitterand, in the very heart of historic Paris.
Far from the crowds and the noise of the city, the yacht awaits discreetly along the Seine - polished mahogany, soft leather seating, chilled champagne already prepared on board.
As the lines are released, La Pinasse glides away from the quay with effortless elegance, entering a quieter and more intimate Paris, seen only from the water.
Setting off from L’Escale Le Louvre, the yacht sails up the Seine through the heart of Paris. The cruise offers superb views of the Grand Palais and its iconic glass roof, before reaching the majestic Eiffel Tower. On the return journey, you’ll discover the timeless silhouette of Notre-Dame, the historic bridges of the Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis, and then the Hôtel de Ville. The cruise ends at L’Escale Le Louvre after a journey past the capital’s most iconic landmarks.
More than a cruise, La Pinasse offers a private immersion into the most elegant side of Paris
A timeless experience of glamour, serenity and refined luxury on the water.
