Studio Boat is a small maritime experience operator based in La Vicomté-sur-Rance, Bretagne. Operating from Port du Lyvet aboard L’Aruba, Studio Boat runs guided photographic excursions and private proposal cruises along the Rance river and maritime Rance. The operator offers three signature trips: Excursion Photo en Rance Maritime, Excursion Photo Rance Fluviale, and Demande en mariage sur la Rance.
Each photography excursion includes an on-deck workshop or hands-on briefing to help participants master light, framing and composition while navigating coastal villages, fishing huts, bird colonies, and reflective river scenes. Routes vary by trip: the maritime excursion focuses on coastal landscapes and wildlife, while the fluvial excursion travels toward the medieval port of Dinan and emphasizes reflections and riverside architecture.
The proposal experience provides a private boat cruise from Port du Lyvet to Dinan with a professional photographer documenting the moment. It is presented as an intimate option for couples seeking a memorable, photographically captured engagement.
