An absolutely unforgettable experience. My wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary in Paris, and the private cruise on the Felicità Yacht became the highlight of our entire trip. I had planned to ask my wife to marry me again and renew our wedding vows during the cruise. The team helped make this moment truly magical. Everything was perfectly timed, and I was able to ask the question right in front of the Eiffel Tower while we were on the Seine. It could not have been more perfect. A very special thank you goes to our skipper, Marius. He was exceptional throughout the entire evening. His service was attentive, professional, and thoughtful, yet never intrusive. He always seemed to know exactly when to be present and when to step back, giving us the privacy and intimacy that made the evening so special. That balance is incredibly difficult to achieve, but Marius did it flawlessly. The yacht itself was beautiful, the atmosphere was romantic, and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle from the river is a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for a truly special and private experience in Paris, I cannot recommend Dolce Vita Yacht highly enough. Thank you for helping create one of the most memorable evenings of our lives. Tobias & Kerstin

WOW - if you have the budget to book one of these experiences, DO IT. I booked this as a surprise for me & my husband for our last night in Paris during a work trip - it was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip. To be able to show him the Eiffel Tower from the water was something he will never forget. Jerome our captain was so lovely, sharing great facts as we cruised down the river. If you can, book it in alignment with sunset so you can enjoy the vibrance of the people along the Seine, plus the sheer beauty of the river as the sun sets. Especially if you can time it with the Eiffel lighting up at dusk.

This was hands down the most romantic experience we’ve had in Paris! The private Seine cruise was intimate, elegant, and perfectly arranged. Watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle while sipping champagne on a luxury boat felt straight out of a movie. If you’re looking for something unique and special, this is it!
