So you’ve got a closed group of people to entertain?
And you don’t want yet another restaurant, rooftop, or hotel ballroom.
You’ve seen others spend a fortune on "luxury" experiences that left guests whispering, “This is it?”
It's frustrating. Stressful. Disappointing.
Are you organizing any of these:
City Guides and Tour Groups: Fed up with crowded tourist traps and standard sightseeing routes? You need an exclusive and intimate experience that genuinely showcases Ljubljana’s beauty and captivates your group’s attention from start to finish.
Kindergartens and Schools: Stuck organizing outings to the same old museums or parks? You want something fresh, exciting, and educational that engages young minds and creates lasting memories.
Special Institutions (elderly, special needs, etc.): Struggling with venues that lack accessibility, comfort, or understanding of your group's unique needs? You deserve a setting that is thoughtfully designed, peaceful, and joyful for everyone involved.
Larger Groups & Special Celebrations: Struggling to find upscale venues that actually feel private? You want your guests to feel exclusive, admired, and truly VIP.
Or maybe events more exotic in their nature?
Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties: Tired of generic bars and cramped limos? You want a stylish, private experience that screams exclusivity, not embarrassment.
Weddings: Your special day deserves more than cheap plastic chairs and bland decor. You envision elegance, intimacy, and picture-perfect moments that your guests will rave about for years.
Birthday Parties: Done with restaurants or predictable clubs? You’re craving something unique and Instagram-worthy that genuinely reflects your sophisticated taste.
DJ Parties & Live Music: Sick of compromising your vibe in crowded, public venues? Elevating your event requires total control over music, ambiance, and exclusivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions customers ask before purchasing. If you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to chat with our friendly team!
Are all boats on the Ljubljanica the same, or does the same provider offer them? Are you really 🧐 the ONLY wooden electric boat in Ljubljana?
We're the only 100% electric handmade wooden one, unique, yes.
Each boat on the Ljubljanica River is operated by a different owner.
Other boats are ok if you JUST want to travel along the Ljubljanica.
But if you want a TRULY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE with a handmade wooden, 100% electric, and stylish boat, then we are the ONLY choice.
On regular tours, we also offer (included) live guidance, which is unfortunately more of an exception than a rule on boats in Ljubljana.
Unfortunately, you don't get this on any other boat on the Ljubljanica (as far as we know at the time of writing this answer), only with us.
What does a boat rental for closed group include?
A private boat rental includes a private boat ride on our electric wooden boat on the Ljubljanica River, a captain, a helmsman, or an assistant/guide, as well as the option to customize the catering – for example, drinks, snacks, or guidance – making it ideal for a family outing or a trip with friends.
We will take care of the catering, featuring stylishly prepared snacks, finger food, and a selection of drinks, including local wines and soft drinks, in collaboration with Wine Bar Šuklje, renowned for its exceptional catering.
Our professional staff will provide a guided tour, stories, and adventures.
In case Slovenian or English are not sufficient for guiding, we can also hire a licensed local guide with knowledge of most foreign languages for our guests.
How long does it take to rent a boat for a closed group?
You can rent a boat for different lengths of time – usually 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours. Longer rentals are also possible by arrangement, if there is free time available. Let's agree on what suits you best.
How many people can the boat accommodate?
The boat for group rentals comfortably accommodates 20-30 people, which is a smaller group.
The maximum allowed capacity of the boat is 48, plus the captain and assistant (50 people in total).
Can we customize the experience to our brand or guests?
Of course! Full customization is possible – from welcome signs and decorations to drinks, activities, and your brand presentation during the cruise, among other options.
Do you serve food and drinks on the boat (catering)?
Of course.
We will take care of the catering – with stylishly prepared snacks, finger food and a selection of drinks, including local wines and soft drinks, in collaboration with Wine Bar Šuklje, who are known for their top-notch catering.
Is there a guide on the boat who explains the sights along the way? Can we ask questions?
Of course!
We are one of the few (maybe even the only) ships on the Ljubljanica River where the captain and helmsman (assistant) live, tell stories, explain the surroundings, and answer your questions during your rental.
Questions are always welcome, and we are happy to answer them (if we can).
Is the boat suitable for a quiet and enjoyable trip? Elegant party maybe?
Yes. The boat is quiet and 100% electric, offering a peaceful and relaxed environment where you can talk, whisper secrets to each other without any issues, or dance and socialize informally.
We saw and hosted a wide range of different groups. Overall, it was a unique and enjoyable experience that the participants will remember forever.
NOTE: if you'd like a party, nothing crazy or too loud is allowed (think gala concert, NOT rave party)
How far in advance should we book a date?
We recommend booking at least 3 to 7 days in advance to secure your desired date and allow time for any adjustments. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible if the boat is available.
