Private Boat Tour in Prague

Reviews
Prague's private boat tours put you on the Vltava with your own group, your own pace and no strangers on deck. Alle Travel runs five different private charters — from a quiet electric boat that slips into canals larger vessels can't reach, to an open-bar party boat for groups of up to 50. You can compare them all here, check live availability and book with instant confirmation.
Which private boat should you actually go for?
It comes down to what the trip is for. A couple celebrating an anniversary needs something different from a group of twelve friends on a stag weekend. Below is a breakdown of every vessel we run, what it's best for and what's included.
Electronemo — the explorer
Electronemo is unlike anything else on the Vltava. This electric-powered vessel is compact enough to navigate the Devil's Channel — the narrow waterway cutting through Kampa Island — where larger cruise boats simply cannot go. Quiet, smooth and surprisingly spacious, it fits up to 25 guests and starts from €500 per trip. The best choice if you want to reach the hidden corners of Prague that most tourists only photograph from bridges.
Corsiva 650 Tender — the classic private tour
The Corsiva is the gold standard private boat experience in Prague — rated 5.0 across 523 reviews. Powered by a Mercury 80Hp engine and crewed by a private English-speaking captain who doubles as a guide, it fits up to 10 guests and starts from €483 per trip. A hotel pickup is included. A chilled bottle of Czech sparkling wine, beer, water and soft drinks are waiting on board when you arrive.
The route takes you under Charles Bridge, past the Old Town weir, through the Devil's Channel, below the Letna metronome, alongside the Straka Academy and St. Agnes Convent — all with live commentary on the history behind each landmark. The tour ends in the Old Town or at Kampa Island, your choice. Perfect for couples, families and small groups who want genuine sightseeing in a private setting.
Najade — the party boat
Najade is built for celebrations. Available in two formats — a 1-hour private cruise with drinks for groups up to 10, and a larger charter with unlimited drinks for groups up to 30 — this is the vessel for birthdays, hen parties, bachelor send-offs or any occasion where the vibe matters as much as the view. Trips start from €430. The boat combines a comfortable indoor salon with an open deck, so you're covered in rain and golden in sunshine.
If you're booking for a larger group, the unlimited drinks format keeps things flowing without anyone watching the bill. Not a serious sightseeing tour — and it doesn't pretend to be. Pick it for the atmosphere.
Beer Boat — the fun one
The Beer Boat — known locally as the Drunken Monkey — is Prague's most approachable private charter. A covered open-air vessel with a fridge stocked with cold Czech beer, a JBL speaker for your playlist and enough deck space for a proper group, it fits up to 50 guests and starts from €350 per trip. Rated 4.8 across 858 reviews. Great for large friend groups, company outings or anyone who just wants cold beer, good music and the Charles Bridge sliding past.
Why go private instead of a shared cruise?
On a public river cruise you share a deck with a hundred strangers, follow a fixed timetable and get a generic commentary through a speaker. On a private boat you control the experience. Tours run from 1 to 4 hours — you choose. Departures are flexible. The captain adjusts the route to your interests.
Private charters start from €350 per trip — not per person. Split across a group of 8–10, that works out to less than the price of a single restaurant dinner in Prague. Most boats seat 10–12 guests comfortably, though the Najade and Beer Boat scale up to 30–50, making them a genuine option for corporate events and large celebrations.
Not sure private is right for you?
If you're travelling solo, on a tighter budget or happy to share the deck with other guests, there are good alternatives worth a look:
- Group boat tours in Prague — shared sightseeing cruises along the Vltava at a lower per-person price, departing multiple times daily
- Dinner cruise in Prague — combine a river cruise with a proper sit-down meal; a popular choice for special evenings that don't need a full private charter
- Night cruises in Prague — if you prefer the city after dark, an evening cruise with Prague Castle and the bridges lit up is a completely different experience from the daytime routes; several formats available
What you'll see on the water
- Every route passes through the historical core of Prague. The river gives you a perspective on the city's landmarks that you simply can't get on foot.
- Charles Bridge is the centrepiece of every route — passing under its Gothic towers at water level, with Prague Castle rising behind it, is one of those views that actually matches the expectation. Further along, the Old Town Hall and the rooftops of the medieval centre come into view along the right bank.
- On the left bank, two of Prague's finest neo-Renaissance buildings face the river directly. The Rudolfinum — home to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra — sits on the embankment just north of the Jewish Quarter, its rooftop lined with statues of composers and its facade one of the most elegant on the entire waterfront. A little further south, the National Theatre closes out the Old Town stretch: built entirely from public donations in the 1880s, its gilded roof crown catches the light from the water in a way that no photograph quite captures.
- The Devil's Channel — accessible on smaller boats like the Corsiva and Electronemo — is a separate highlight: calm, tree-lined and completely unlike the open river sections covered by large cruise operators. It's the part of Prague most visitors never see.
Booking and practical details
- Tours depart daily with multiple time slots available. Most boats have no minimum group size — a couple can book the same vessel as a group of ten. Instant confirmation comes with every booking. If you're not sure which boat fits your group: the Corsiva is the right answer for most sightseers, the Beer Boat or Najade for parties, and Electronemo for anyone who wants to go where the other boats can't.
- All five tours are listed below. Book directly — instant confirmation, free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure on most options.
