Paris Water Way is proud to welcome an exceptional new vessel to its fleet: Le Sully, a Riffler designed by Jan des Bouvrie, one of the most celebrated Dutch designers. Le Sully is the only designer boat available for private cruises on the Seine, and its arrival marks a new chapter in luxury river experiences in Paris.

A Boat Born from Artistic Vision
Jan des Bouvrie is renowned in the Netherlands and beyond for his minimalist, elegant, and timeless design philosophy. Built in 2002 by Menken Mariteam, Le Sully reflects that same aesthetic: clean lines, a bold open cockpit, and a sense of understated luxury that turns every cruise into an art experience.
Technical Specifications
Le Sully is built for performance as much as for beauty. At 11.10 metres long and 3.54 metres wide, with a shallow draft of only 50 cm, it navigates the Seine with effortless grace. Its top speed of 29 knots makes it one of the fastest private boats on the river, while its open cockpit layout seats up to 12 passengers in style.
The Only Designer Boat on the Seine
What makes Le Sully truly unique is its pedigree. There is no other boat of this calibre available for private hire on the Seine. For those who appreciate fine design and seek an experience that goes beyond the ordinary, Le Sully offers a rare combination of aesthetics, speed, and exclusivity. From the Arsenal basin to Boulogne-sur-Seine, every route becomes an unforgettable ride.
Perfect for Every Occasion
Le Sully is ideal for romantic escapades, anniversary celebrations, marriage proposals, birthday outings, hen parties, or corporate events. With a private captain on board, your group of up to 12 enjoys complete freedom — your music, your pace, your Paris.
