Great evening! We went for a musical jazz diner on Sunday. Ambiance is great, musicians are really good(Osian Roberts Trio for this evening), food is surprisingly great, view is amazing and staff is completely efficient and nice. I recommend for jazz lovers and just lovers too! :-)

Interesting way to see Prague by night. I went on Jazz & Sax night, meaning the songs played highlighted the saxophone part. We were greated with a small cup of hot wine, which was great since it was a very cold evening. The menu was ok: spring rolls, salmon and a chocolate cake as dessert. You also could choose from chicken, pork or vegetarian. The salmon was very well cooked, but the cake wasn’t really good… I’d say the menu is ok. Nothing outstading. The sound can get quite loud inside the boat at some moments. The music is pleasant and a good background for a dinner. Negative points: there too many tables in a small space so it’s tight. There could be more space in between tables.

Enjoyable! We wanted to do a river cruise and this one was fun. The music was ok(not the reason I was there) and the food was pretty good. We were seated with 3 other people at a table which ended up being a lot of fun! Our server was moving at super speed all evening and worked really hard for us. About 2.5 hours of cruising was great and we saw a few sights from the windows. It was cool to go through the lock and watch it fill and quickly lose water. I wish we would have went the other way on the river so we could see more. We ended up seeing a lot of trees and housing developments. If I were to do this again, I would double check the route of the boat. Otherwise, a very enjoyable evening.

I didn’t know what to expect coming into this, as these kinds of things can be VERY hit and miss. It’s obviously geared towards a tourist market, and that makes me anxious. Thankfully, my money was not wasted! What a lovely evening! The music, first of all was lovely, if slightly«bigger sounding» than what’s needed on a canal barge. A good mix of melancholy blues and upbeat jazz from a high-spirited trio of musicians. Your mileage may vary as each evening has a different program. The food was decent, and certainly elevated by the general ambiance. I had the vegetarian menu, which included spring rolls, lasagne and chocolate cake. The spring rolls were pretty good, the lasagne terrific and the chocolate cake was… Unfulfilling. It was chocolatey, but dry, and needed some ice cream or whipped cream on the side to really work. My wife’s salmon with potato Dauphinoise was — apparently — delicious, which I’ll have to take her word for. There was no vegan option, and I have my doubts that the cheese in my lasagne was entirely vegetarian, but I didn’t have the energy to take that argument yet another time in Prague. From our window table, we got a beautiful view of Prague at night, with some truly surprising details passing us every now and then, like a beautifully adorned tunnel near a castle. The view, the music and the food all combined to make for a lovely time and one I would definitely recommend. Not the cheapest way to spend an evening in Prague, but worth it!

I booked a Jazz Boat tour the morning of a show and was able to get decent seats by the window. We got on board and were welcomed with some hot wine. The boat is very nice and the seats are comfortable. You can hear the band well from every corner. The only problem was that there are very few two person tables. We ended up being seated with two elder ladies who didn’t speak much English. It wasn’t a problem at all, but I felt a little awkward having a full on conversation with my husband while they were quietly sitting across from us. The band was really awesome and played some great music. The views aren’t that great from the boat, Charles Bridge gives you way better ones. But I guess this way you have a view of the Charles Bridge right? We didn’t order the dinner and instead only got drinks. Perhaps that is way everything seemed like the exact same for the entire time we were on the boat. It was very enjoyable, but it felt like a long time. Maybe if we had a multi-course dinner it would feel different. Regardless, if you are thinking about taking this tour, do not hesitate, but perhaps go with the food option. Most people seemed to enjoy the food.

This is a real cruise with a very good meal and amazing music playing. If you want to impress your loved one or are taking someone for a date, this is a great place to go. For the price we paid, we enjoyed a very good meal, a great hospitality and service, awesome live jazz music, and the most beautiful view of Prague at night. The boat takes you in a cruise back and forth to actually see the real Prague from the river’s point of view. Purely romantic.

This is not your standard river cruise. Definately a highlight of any visit to Prague, the Jazzboat offers a dining experience on the river, accompanied by live jazz. The cruise is about 2,5 hours long, and you get to see Prague by night, which is absolutely amazing given that all the main historical landmarks and monuments are lit and look just magical. I went on a Sunday, and the band was a fusion jazz trio, and they played great music during the entire cruise. I would recommend this to anyone who goes to Prague.

Eine schöné Bootsfahrt mit Live Jazz und gutem 3 Gänge Menue. Dazu gibt’s die Skyline von Prag in untergehender Sonne gratis. Die Tour geht jeden Abend ab 20.30 Uhr vom Gate 5 unter der Čechův Bridge los. Man kann ganz einfach telefonisch bestellen aber auch online(da bekommt man sogar noch Rabatt). Es gint nach Wochentagen immer ein anderes Musikthema/Band. Ein wunderbarer Abschluss eines Abends in Prag.
