Marin d'Eau Douce

Marin d’Eau Douce offers an original way to bring people together in Paris, with electric, licence-free boats available from its base on the Bassin de la Villette. The experience combines gentle navigation, fresh air and a distinctive urban setting, making it suitable for company outings, team-building days, incentive programmes, private celebrations and informal gatherings.

Organisers can create relaxed group activities on the water, with participants taking the helm of their own small boat and discovering the Canal de l’Ourcq, the Bassin de la Villette and surrounding landmarks from a different perspective. The format is flexible, allowing groups to enjoy a straightforward boating trip or add more structured entertainment, such as treasure hunts, nautical rallies, orientation challenges and other team activities designed to encourage communication and collaboration.

The Paris base can accommodate boats for groups of up to 11 people per boat, with routes ranging from a one-hour outing to longer half-day or full-day experiences. Marin d’Eau Douce can also help enhance the occasion with food and drink options, including aperitif boards, snacks, salads and refreshments. Its terrace may be hired privately for occasions such as corporate cocktails, anniversaries and wedding announcements, creating a convenient meeting point before or after the activity.

For businesses, the team can help shape a tailored programme, from a simple afterwork on the water to a more complete event with activities, catering elements and coordination. The result is a convivial, low-noise and memorable event concept that works particularly well for groups seeking something informal, active and different from a conventional meeting room or restaurant.
