Akwa

Leaving from the Bassin de la Villette, just a stone's throw from the Buttes-Chaumont, take the controls of an electric boat without a license and explore the Canal de l'Ourcq in complete freedom, whether you're with family, friends, a couple or colleagues.
Easy to maneuver, silent and eco-friendly, our boats offer an unusual interlude in the heart of Paris. For an even more convivial experience, discover our barbecue boats, ideal for a gourmet cruise along the water.
But AKWA is much more than just a boat trip: it's also a lively guinguette on the quays, festive and cultural events, home-cooked snacks from local suppliers, workshops, children's activities and events dedicated to ecology.
Open to all - individuals, groups, companies (team building, incentives...), schools - AKWA awaits you to experience Paris differently, along the water.
