Prague Boats 1-hour Cruise

Total rip off as the tour was only 45 min.

The view was ok but they just try to sell you drinks and snacks and then after 46 it is done although they sell a one hour tour . The experience was ok but nothing special . Would not recommend

Nice boat

We were lucky as we had a beautiful sunny day and we had a lovely time. There are tables and chairs on the top deck and waitress service for drinks and snacks which are sensibly priced. Some commentary provided.

Waste of time and money. Completely lacking experience.

This tour was supposed to be 50-60 mins, it was closer to 25-30 mins. That was almost ok as the boat kept going in circles between two bridges without much of an explanation as to what we were seeing, any points of interest or any information whatsoever. It was a complete waste of time, short as it was, and money 24 euros pp. There are wayyyyyy better ways to spend that in Prague. This boat was a total letdown. Avoid!

Was okay, but can't hear guide

Was nice ride. But can't hear the audio about history and buildings, because everybody are talking. I suggest to choose smaller boat or waterbike to have better time.

Disappointing.

Very disappointing. The trip only covered a very short section the river; there was very little information given (we passed a number of buildings without any explanation) and the commentary was delayed so that we had often passed a building before anything was said about it.

Last day of holiday boat trip.

We had a lovely peaceful trip on this lovely electric powered boat. The weather was glorious and the trip allowed us to see the beautiful city of Prague from a different perspective. I would highly recommend this.

Nice views with a drink

We enjoyed an hour boat ride on one of their larger boats. It was very relaxing to have drinks and see the sites from the river (especially after a long day of walking around). They had a good selection of drinks. We received a discount by purchasing our tickets online.

Sightseeing on a river cruise

The scenery was beautiful I would recommend this boat trip. The boat was comfortable and well equipped,

Lovely but didn’t learn anything

A lovely experience however it did feel very rushed, the audio alongside the tour was really lacking and you’d expect the boat to go a little further down the river! Definitely worth doing but maybe look at other operators as well if you want a more in depth tour.

Don’t recommended

As a local person living in Prague for 10 years, I tried this one hour trip with Prague Boats and I must say I was disappointed. Comments from the speakers didn’t match the spota where we were. So a lot od tourist were confused and it was visible. The speaker for example started to talk about Štvanice island but we already passed the island like two minutes ago and had different direction. Also its really overpriced.

Terrible night boat ride experience.

Saturday 30.March 2024 Terrible, boat horribly oversold, weren't able to get onto our boat at 8pm even though we were there an hour early. Had to wait for another hour. Never ending line, angry people all around. Even though there were already so many people waiting for a boat that was full they kept selling tickets for a boat that was gonna be full again. Everyone had to wait for the later boat and so on.

Nice to see the city from the water

We enjoyed this river cruise. To see the city from the water was lovely. Only downside was you can’t hear the commentary at all as it’s not loud enough and everyone was talking. It was available on your phone but we didn’t have headphones to listen to it. We read it instead but hard to see the views and read the text on your phone at the same time. It was nice how they came to your table to take drink & food orders though.

Beautiful Prague from the river

Clean and comfortable boat. I wish we would have been told about using the QR code in the menu to access the guide. We were 15 minutes into the trip before we figured it out. Other tables the same. The choice of snacks could have been better. But we enjoyed the excursion.

Disappointing as no commentary

Staff on the, boat made no effort to tell us anything about what we were seeing. The boat itself was, clean and comfortable and staff were courteous but there, was, no commentary at all.

Don't bother.

Dreadful. Don't bother. Ticket staff were curt when we booked. Did not advise us we needed and app for commentary. At the rear of the boat you can see but not hear. And the front of the boat you can neither see nor hear. The staff on board were rude when we pointed it out. Still no mention of any app. Pure waste of money.

Quiet boat lovely views

Very quiet boat allowed us great views and photographs. We couldn’t help but laugh when the waiter suggested we leave a tip for bringing us two Pepsi in cans 😂

Clean and lots of room

Booked the evening 50min tour. Was punctual, lots of room on the boat, staff were friendly and had good service. Commentary app needs some improvements. Didn't really know which photo matched which building on the shore. When you zoom in it zooms back out on its own. Just listened to the commentary for something to do. Might have been better in the day.

Great cruise

We booked on the day about an hour in advance and were one of only 6 couples aboard. The boat was immaculate and staff would take good and drink orders at the table. This was way better than any river cruise we have done before and we would recommend this to others visiting

Scenic 1 hour cruise

Wew initially paid for a cruise and was seated in a virtually empty boat. After 10 minutes we were advised that as there was not enough passengers we must wait for the next boat which was the panoramic boat. Overall there were nice views and I enjoyed a beer along the way. The boat was not too crowded so comfortable. Whilst it didnt blow me away it was worth doing just for the scenery.

Cheap for a readon

There were 5 minutes where the view of Charles bridge was amazing. The rest of the 45 minutes ( not one hour) were meh.

Short, basic river cruise with good drink service

Cruise seemed short (although I think it was the advertised length of time). Nice to sit and see the city from the river but not very informative - the audio guide was only available on your phone via QR code and sign in was too complicated to deal with. Drinks and service were good.

Waste of time

Totally waste of time and money… very short, nothing to see, no explanation, multiple times back and forth always in the same place, walking along the river you will see more in just 30 minutes walking

Disappointed

Disappointing. We were told it was a one hour tour with commentary in multiple languages. There was no commentary at all. They started loading at 7:00pm for the 7:00 tour. Didn’t leave the dock until 7:15. We were back at the dock at 7:50. We saw more walking along the river than in this boat. My daughter bought a hot chocolate on board and said it was good. That was the only positive. Would not recommend. .

A great way to start a sightseeing day

The boat is electric so very quiet. The route is to Charles Bridge and then back upstream to see more of the city. The coffee was good. An hour seemed just right.

Great experience

Lovely cruise along the river at night. Smooth, on time and drinks served promptly. Would recommend to any one. Options to sit inside and outside are available.

One hour Prague boat trip

Not the best boat trip I was on. It states an hour long and we were on and off the boat within 50 minutes. Also states that there is audio which there was not.

Shameful mobility approach

Prague itself its not mobility orientated, whether it's prams or wheelchairs, the infrastructure has not been designed for these users, which in our case, traveling with a toddler, we informed ourselfs and we knew what to expect, however this company is complete opposite of that... They have the facilities but refuse to allow guest access . When requested to access the baby changing facilities on the brand new electric boats, we have been informed that the disabled toilets are not available to the public. Also, if you need to be reminded, not all disabilities are visible, Prague Boats!

Lovely experience

We took the 1 hour boat trip and loved it! A lovely sail up and down the river with great views of charles bridge. Spotlessly clean, electric boat, with food and drinks available on board.

Beautiful river but you’re on your own

People should be aware that there is 100% NO AUDIO or “tour”. They have a website where you can click on some of the locations, but you’re not really sure where you are or what you’re looking at. The bar/coffee is nice, but a bit pricey.

Terrible boat tour

A short boat trip with most seats indoors. Due to it being after 6pm and also snowing, you couldn’t see anything out of the frosted up windows and the upstairs area was covered in snow and slippy. During the hour trip we managed to see absolutely nothing out of the window. Would definitely not recommend.

Boat trip...

Excellent boat trip up the river...well priced...a bit nippy in winter so get ur hat & scarf on...highly recommend..

Great photo opportunity

We bought our tickets at the pier, the lady said we need a minimum of 5 people to operate, luckily a small group arrived shortly after so we were OK. But I don't know what would have happened if we had prebooked and there was less than 5 of us. Due to the fact there wasn't many of us, we had the back area to ourselves and we then went upstairs on the top deck and again had it all to ourselves! It was snowing when we went and it was really beautiful. The only thing I would say is I don't think it was a full 50 mins as advertised and I also don't think there was audio information so we kind of just guessed where we were on the map. There is a bar and toilets on board. The lady behind the bar was friendly and asked if we wanted anything.

Not worth the money

My partner and myself were very disappointed in the 50 minute boat trip. It is definitely not worth the money, you barely go up the river before turning around and can see all the same sights from the side of the road. We did not see anything different than what we had already seen. The queuing system was poor with some very rude people behind us who in the end barged past everyone and skipped half the queue and causes chaos with other people trying to get off the boat. Definitely wouldn’t bother going.

Views were great, departure instructions not so much.

The views of the city were amazing. The communication on the APP on where to go was not. The APP said the boat leaves from dock 3 and that is incorrect. Dock 3 is the location of the ticket booth. The employees were very unfriendly in obtaining the actual tickets we purchased from the APP and once we got the ticket she was less than helpful on where to go. I looked on the ticket and it was dock 4. There were multiple people in the same queue that were not in the correct queue and nearly missed their departure from dock 1. Clearer communication is needed.

Prague Boats 1 hour devils cruise

Enjoyable experience with full historical commentary. Excellent views from the boat which had around 20 passengers. This is a smaller boat with a personalised service.

Great trip

A great way to see some of the sights in Prague. Very relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip the electric boat is so quiet, the staff on board are very attentive with a good range of drinks and snacks onboard

Awful customer service and waste of money

Awful tour, if you go at night the area the dock is located in is very sketchy. The staff including the ticket agent, and the horrible woman onboard, are atrocious and genuinely racist to non Europeans. The boat is old and slow and just goes in circles around the dock. Don’t waste your money.

Great evening and nighttime views.

6:00 was just right to see both the evening light and nighttime lighting. The boat was comfortable and commentary in many languages.

Perfect

Brilliant experience only did the 1 hour but was lovely, couple of beers on board and staff were lovely, can't fault it!

Lovely way to see Prague from the water

Nice cruise in the sun with lots to see & an excellent commentary. Also very handy connection to the hop-on hop-off bus tours via their Berliner Dom stops.

A Night on water chill

A good idea for site seeing from different direction. We took a night ride and it was fun and interesting. Recommended for a night out.

Great little trip and not too expensive.

Great little trip down the river. Food and drink onboard if you want it. Similar prices to town. You get to see everything you expect to. Cost us about £20 for two people. It was a sunny day when we did it and we got to sit outside but there are plenty of places undercover if needed. You get to choose either electric or traditional fuel boats. They go pretty regularly.

Must do!

Lovely trip to pass an hour. Very friendly, clean and quiet. Saw loads of interesting sights, and the overall experience was brilliant.

Disappointing

40 mins not an hour! We did this at nightfall and the scenery was pretty. The trip was only 40 mins rather than the hour advertised (it left at 19:10 and we were back at 19:50. I suspect it was colour short as at one point we were hearing commentary about an island but we were about to go under a bridge on the way back! I’m sure there are better boat trips.

English came after Czech...

English came after Czech so did not miss anything. Nice slow ride. Plenty of room on deck. Traveled alone. No problem.

Pleasant river trip, expensive for the city

It's a 50 minute short trip on a boat with a lot of space on the open top deck. It's a nice place for a few more photographs of the attractive city. There's recorded audio which plays over speakers at a reasonable volume telling you a small amount about where you are in several languages including English. I wasn't always exactly sure what it was referring to at first but you can work it out by looking around. I enjoyed it a lot as it was a glorious sunny day. The main questions here are value for money and is it really a tour? It would be better if they provided a more detailed single language script per person somehow. I spotted a few pedaloes further down the river, some of them in the shape of swans and old cars. If I went back I'd investigate those as they look like a lot of fun.

Good

Nice, not long drive...we liked it, although I expected more to see. The ship is moving slowly. All in all, it was interesting for the child, and that's the most important thing

Good Views, but not recommended

The views were lovely. However, the staff were unorganised and told us the incorrect pier, meaning that we almost missed our boat, despite arriving 30 minutes early. Additionally, the audio information about the sights on the tour was not loud enough, and as such we could not hear it, which is a shame as we wanted to learn the history of the city. Also, it is luck of the draw whether you get a double decker or single decker boat, with the double decker allowing for better views for everyone to see, and the single decker allowing for limited view of the sights if you have to sit on a middle table (like us). Overall, I would recommend touring with a different company, or booking a tour specifically on the electric double decker boats if you can.

Brilliant time

Brilliant one hour spent on water. The announcements were clear and in many languages. The announcement did lag behind at one point but you would have to be an idiot not to realise what it was referring to. Staff extremely friendly and professional. Views were fantastic.

Worth the trip!

We wanted to do this cruise as an evening cruise to see the sights and lights along the river at night so chose the 8pm option. I would advise booking in advance as we left it until on the day and the price had increased slightly. Still cheap enough though! The cruise is only for about 1 hour but this is probably enough to see what needs to be seen in the area. The commentary was recorded and circles through different languages to accommodate all. I think it would have been better to have an actual person doing this who could give a more consistent and experienced tour of the area, but I understand why a recording can help to accommodate more people. Staff are serving drinks constantly through the experience too.
