This private boat tour in Strasbourg, Alsace, lasts two hours and is conducted on a small luxury yacht reserved exclusively for groups of one to nine people. The captain welcomes guests on board and manages the tour professionally. Departure times are flexible and arranged with the captain based on guest preference and availability, with options for day or night trips. The yacht features a sunbathing area, hand shower, sink, and toilet. All fees and taxes are included. Alcoholic and carbonated beverages are not provided. A surcharge applies on French public holidays, payable on site. The route follows the Ill River through Strasbourg, passing many landmarks. It begins with a view of the Notre-Dame de Strasbourg cathedral, a Gothic cathedral in the Bas-Rhin district of Alsace. The boat then moves past La Petite France district, known for its cobbled streets, canals, and half-timbered houses such as the Maison des Tanneurs from 1572. The tour includes a fifteen-minute passage through this lively area. Next, the boat passes the European Parliament building, followed by the Ponts Couverts, a set of three covered bridges with four fortified towers classified as historical monuments since 1928. The boat also passes the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Saint-Paul Church, a former Protestant garrison church built in the late 19th century, now serving the Reformed religion. The route continues past the European Court of Human Rights, an international court established in 1959 to oversee compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights. The boat then goes by the Parc de l'Orangerie, a 26-hectare public park near the Palais de l'Europe and other European institutions, with a five-minute passage through the area. The tour includes crossing the Jardin des Deux Rives, a cross-border park between Strasbourg and Kehl, Germany, connected by a footbridge over the Rhine River. Additional sights along the route include the Elithis Danube Tower, a positive energy housing tower in the Danube eco-district, and a five-minute passage by the autonomous port of Strasbourg. The boat passes the Saint-Guillaume Church, a Gothic Lutheran church located at the junction of the Quais des Bateliers and des Pêcheurs. The Palais Rohan is also visible; this 18th-century palace was home to the four cardinals of Rohan and has served as town hall and royal residence. The Historical Museum of Strasbourg is included, presenting the city's history from the Middle Ages to the establishment of European institutions. The route passes again through the Parc de l'Orangerie, known for its gardens, walking paths, a navigable lake, playgrounds, a small zoo, and nearby restaurants and villas featuring Art Nouveau and neo-Renaissance architecture. In November and December, the boat passes near the Christmas Markets, where over 300 chalets offer local delicacies and traditional Alsatian crafts. The tour also includes a two-minute passage by the Barrage Vauban, a 17th-century lock-bridge with a panoramic terrace offering views of the city and its canals. The Alsatian Museum is another stop, showcasing traditional Alsatian life from the 17th to the 20th century through housing, furniture, costumes, and crafts. Evening tours include a night lock passage supplement. The captain coordinates all aspects of the trip to provide a smooth and personalized experience.
