 Entertainment boat: a pleasant waterborne establishment for a with-it crowd.
|
|
Barge, junk, floating house: all waterborne constructions appear suitable for transformation into entertainment boats. They offer shows, concerts, beer gardens, buffet-bars, fashion shows or are simply floating venues to rent for parties or seminars.
|
 Unlike passenger boats, entertainment boats stay moored and thereby provide the link between river tourism and land tourism.
These unusual boats, often renovated barges, create a holiday atmosphere.
They provide large public capacity, by day and by night, and help avoid sound nuisance problems. The entertainment boat gives a new take on leisure.
These new venues attract a young, urban clientele, which is not interested in boating, but in the services offered. An occasional tourist or business clientele is also built up, since these boats advertise their programmes widely in tourist offices or on their websites.
These entertainment boats are to be found largely on major urban river areas such as Paris (www.paris-ports.fr), Lyons and Strasbourg.
If you are interested in doing up an old barge, be prepared to spend a great deal on the purchase and renovation. Be sure to carry out all administrative procedures, especially those relating to safety standards.
