Step aboard an iconic boat. Authentic, elegant, and rare, our pinasse is the first to navigate the Seine in Paris. Experience a unique journey at the crossroads of maritime tradition and Parisian refinement.
What is a Pinasse?
From Workboat to Leisure Icon
The pinasse is a traditional boat from the Arcachon Bay, renowned for its slender silhouette, noble wooden deck, and style that is both refined and welcoming.
Originally built for oyster farming, the pinasse evolved into a leisure craft in the 1920s, as seaside resorts like Arcachon and Cap Ferret flourished. It soon became the embodiment of a discreet, local, and timeless French luxury.
A Living Icon
Like a Riva on Lake Como or a classic sailboat on the Riviera, the pinasse has become an emblem. It evokes a certain art of living: a companion for suspended moments, family outings, and romantic escapes.
