Marin D'Eau Douce
About
Marin D’Eau Douce is a Paris‑based electric boat rental and team‑building company that lets you explore the city’s canals and rivers without a licence. With a fleet of 120 easy‑to‑pilot vessels, customers can choose from small 5‑person boats up to large 11‑person boats suitable for private parties, corporate events or family outings. The company offers a range of themed adventures—treasure hunts, historical tours, ecological challenges, and street‑art explorations—across locations such as the Bassin de la Villette, the Canal Saint‑Martin, the Ourcq Canal and the Marne and Ill rivers. The rental model is hourly or for an entire day, and all boats run on 100 % electric, quiet, zero‑emission propulsion powered by renewable energy. Participants receive a safety briefing before taking the wheel, making the experience accessible to anyone over 16. For larger groups, specialised team‑building packages include on‑board activities, workshops, and a reward ceremony on the water. Visitors can also book a bespoke tour through the official website or by phone (09 70 71 40 60). Whether you’re looking for a romantic cruise, a birthday celebration or a structured corporate challenge, Marin D’Eau Douce promises a unique, eco‑friendly way to see France’s most iconic canals and waterways.
