Pražské Benátky organizes private cruises for closed groups on the Vltava in Prague, on two boats: the Vodouch, for 32 people, and the saloon speedship Nepomuk, which carries up to 100 passengers. Companies and small groups can hold a reception or a party on board. The operator is based at Platnéřská 4 in the Old Town and also runs the Charles Bridge Museum.
Seminars and company events
The service is aimed at corporate events and small companies that want a reception or a party on the water. Sailors in Austro-Hungarian uniforms give commentary on the main sights of Prague and serve refreshments. The program can include musicians, jugglers, dancers or fireworks, and a live band can play songs of the client's choice, on the boats or in the museum. The cruise passes through a water tunnel under the Old Town and past the last standing arch of the Judith Bridge, with views of Prague Castle and the Grand Priory Mill on the Devil's Stream. This is a venue for entertaining clients and rewarding teams, not for seminars with equipment, and the site does not describe presentation facilities.
Weddings and receptions
The pages read mention private visitors alongside companies, and private parties on the boats. They do not describe weddings, so this page does not offer them.
Rooms and capacities
The stated capacities are 32 persons on the Vodouch boat and up to 100 passengers on the Nepomuk saloon speedship. Events can also use the Gothic rooms of the Charles Bridge Museum, a garden with a view of Prague Castle and a floating wharf. An organ concert in the Baroque church of St. Francis of Assisi, whose organ Mozart is said to have played, can be added to a program.
Catering
Refreshments are served by the crew on board. The pages read do not describe full catering for dinners.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation. The boats leave from wharfs in the Old Town of Prague.
History and setting
