In Lagny-sur-Marne, BBQ Boat 77 hires out licence-free boats built around a large table and gas barbecue. From the riverside stop at quai Savarin, the group steers itself along the Marne and prepares food on board, in boats accommodating six or nine people.
How does the BBQ Boat work?
A safety briefing of around 30 minutes takes place before departure. The barbecue, gas, safety equipment and navigation gear are supplied. Guests bring their own food and drinks and cook at their own pace during the trip.
How long can you cruise in 2026?
Current options range from 2 to 6 hours. As a guide, the operator's FAQ lists a four-hour package at €280 for the six-seat boat and €380 for the nine-seat boat. An extra hour is advertised at €60.
Can you stop for lunch on the Marne?
Yes. The boat has an anchor, and the idea is precisely to alternate cruising and stops to eat. The group can choose its mooring location provided it does not obstruct river traffic, then head to another stretch of the Marne.
What to know before visiting
Summer boarding takes place at the riverside stop, quai Savarin in Lagny-sur-Marne. Animals are not allowed on board. Afternoon, evening and weekend slots are the most popular, so the operator recommends booking ahead.
An extra detail
The barbecue is not simply an addition to an ordinary boat: the entire vessel is built around the central table. The nine-seat version also turns the outing into a group meal or a sunset evening on the water.
