We had a wonderful time on Patrik’s boat! He popped some prosecco and showed us highlights along the river. He shared some stories from his own life and gave us great recommendations. It’s a lovely way to start a trip to Prague!

Our boat tour in Prague with Patrik was one of the highlights of our trip. The boat was fantastic—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Patrik was so friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience feel relaxed and special. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Highly recommend!

Overview

The Vltava River runs through the center of Prague, and a boat ride along its calm waters can be a great way to escape the busy city and take in the sights. Tours on the larger vessels can get pretty crowded, but on this private tour, it’ll just be you and your captain. Meander down the Vltava and snap photos as you’re regaled with interesting anecdotes.
  • Includes convenient pickup and drop-off at your Prague hotel
  • Enhance the experience with some free Czech sparkling wine
  • Don’t worry about the weather—cozy blankets will keep you warm
  • Play some music on the boat’s speakers to help set the vibe

What's Included

  • Private boat
  • Private captain/guide
  • Bottle of Czech sparkling wine and other drinks

Too expensive

diane_h, Aug 2026
Our guide was very nice. I didn't think it was worth what we paid for it. You can see the same things for a lot less money

Wonderful tour!

Ronnice_N, Jun 2026
Although it rained we were told he had a cover to keep us dry, he kept the cover on his side of the boat up and not ours so we had to sit next to him during our tour. We were also told we had to pay our driver money to take us back to the meeting point which is not described before we booked. Overall he was informative but could’ve done a lot better in getting the boat prepared knowing it would rain.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Ronnice! I am sorry you feel this way. Obviously you did not have to sit next to me, I could have put up the roof over the front of the boat, but I prefer not to do it since it blocks the view for the clients more than the bimini. If you prefered sitting in the front of the boat, you could have said so. Regarding the transfer back, it is stated in the inclusions that the transfer is 1 way only. Best regards, Patrik

Great time

lyubov_v, May 2026
We had a very pleasant time on the boat trip. First, we were picked up by a very nice gentleman in a nice car directly from our hotel and comfortably transported to the boat. We booked the 6:30 PM tour, and the timing was perfect. Our captain was fun, knowledgeable, and shared many interesting facts about Prague and the Czech Republic. The weather was lovely despite the forecasted rain, and the captain even had blankets prepared for us, although it was not windy at all. We also had champagne, which made the whole experience feel even more special. I would highly recommend this tour because Prague is incredibly beautiful from the water, especially in the evening.

Relaxing, Beautiful, and Memorable

Great boat tour by our excellent guide Patrick. We were able to see certain areas not easily accessible by foot. Learned additional things about Prague and even managed to grab a beer from the brewery boat docked nearby.

A great experience that I highly recommend to do when visiting Prague, such an informative experience.

Perfect sunset boat ride

Meredith_S, Dec 2025
I wanted something special for my family's trip to Prague. Patrik provided the perfect boat ride and experience for us! Private, knowledge and history filled, we were able to watch the sunset over Prague while taking in the river views with Czech sparkling wine in hand. Skip the herds of people on the bigger boats and pick this one.

Relaxing River Ride

Wendy_F, Oct 2025
This tour is a nice short boat ride on the river, it does not go through the locks, but the captain took us down a cozy little waterway that was very picturesque. Patrick was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed our river cruise.

Wonderful experience!

Perfect private boat tour – relaxing, fun and unique

Kristina_G, Aug 2025
We had a private one-hour boat tour with a captain, and it was a fantastic experience! The boat was modern and comfortable, the atmosphere felt relaxed and enjoyable. We especially appreciated the Czech sparkling wine and the captain’s mini historical insights, which made the ride even more special. Everything was smooth, friendly, and memorable. Highly recommended!

Only private boat tour to consider!!!

Anthony_R, Aug 2025
This is the only private boat Tour to experience on the river! Patrick was very knowledgeable about the great history and landmarks up and down the river. Truly like taking a cruise with a friend. The captain Patrick and his first mate Alexandria took very good care of us. I would definitely regretmuù

Fantastic boat tour - must do!

Remarkable private boat experience in Prague

Xiaofeng_C, Jun 2025
Great 1hr experience on this very new and clean boat. Captain Patrick was friendly, courteous and knowledgable. He gave us a great guide of the historical and cultural significance of all of the landmarks and buildings we saw during the tour. This was a pleasant and educational private boat trip. There were beverages and prosecco on board, perfect for this occasion. In conclusion, this trip was a wonderful experience for my family. It will be perfect for any families, couples or friends to experience this.

A MUST DO Experience in Prague

Anne_H, May 2025
Captain Patrik and Vesper (his boat) were top notch. Best excursion experience in Prague! Do not miss this opportunity to see Prague, especially if you can time the trip to happen at sunset.

The best of the best

Kristine_F, Jul 2024
This was an absolute incredible experience! Patrick is a wonderful host. We had the experience of traveling through locks, as well as a ‘boat-up’ beer stand. We cannot say enough about this experience. Patrick has a beautiful boat - book it. You will thank yourself later!

A must-see

Cristine_L, Jun 2026
The guide speaks English very well and knows the history of the country very well. It was an exceptional moment for my husband and me. It offers a different perspective of the city; we went through the canals, which we had not yet visited. Highly recommended

Nathan_D, Jun 2025
Great boat trip to discover Prague from another angle. The boat is super comfortable and there are unlimited drinks! Patrick is very nice. He did not hesitate to make the visit in French despite the fact that it was planned in English. We were also able to change the date of the activity the day before depending on the weather. I recommend!
