From Amsterdam to Paris
The project
The Yacht Dolce Vita project was conceived by three partners passionate about vintage Dutch boats.
In Helburg, a small town north of Amsterdam, we took possession of this magnificent yacht, which left the Super Van Craft factories in 1987.
This shipyard, renowned for its quality, was once associated with the Dutch royal family.
The Captain
After a career in the Yachting industry and a transatlantic crossing, Olivier took part in a new project in Paris.
It was the meeting with his future partners that was at the origin of this new adventure.
The common vision of what Dolce Vita was to become was born.
Offering high-end services while preserving its charm and authenticity
The Journey
After 12 days of sailing through the Netherlands, Belgium and France, and having passed through more than 70 locks, the Dolce Vita and her passengers finally arrived in Paris.
This is where the transformation began to arrive at today's result.
Who We Are – The Story Behind Dolce Vita Paris Private Yacht Cruise
A Passion for Private Cruises on the Seine River
The Dolce Vita Paris project was born from a shared love of private cruises and the elegance of vintage yachts. What began as a dream between three partners has become one of the most exclusive ways to rediscover Paris. Our mission? To offer an unforgettable experience aboard a private boat tour that combines luxury, history, and the timeless beauty of the Seine River.
A Yacht with a Story – The Dolce Vita Journey
It all started in Helburg, a charming town north of Amsterdam. Here, we discovered a cruise boat built in 1987 by the Super Van Craft shipyard—an establishment once linked to the Dutch royal family, known for its exceptional craftsmanship. The yacht’s history, elegance, and character made it the perfect spot to bring our vision to life.
After 12 days of sailing through the most beautiful bridges of the Netherlands, Belgium, and France—passing more than 70 locks—we finally arrived in the heart of Paris. This marked the beginning of an extensive transformation, preserving the yacht’s authentic charm while elevating its luxury to provide the ultimate private boat ride experience.
