La Flottille is a boat rental operator based in Metz, Grand Est, offering a range of electric boats and pedal boats for short excursions and extended rentals. The fleet includes larger-capacity electric models and compact vessels suited to small groups and families. Trips range from 30-minute themed experiences — such as the Saviboat Port miniature Police maritime and Port miniature Pompier — to one-hour leisure cruises on electric boats like Le Ruban Bleu Sensas and Le Ruban Bleu Ace. One flagship electric vessel, Le Ruban Bleu Most, accommodates up to 11 people, while several smaller boats are designed for groups of up to five.
La Flottille lists clear capacity and duration details for each offering, including hourly options and a long-range electric model (Ruban Bleu Scoop 2) capable of multiple hours of operation. Several boats specify age recommendations for pilots (for example, models suitable for ages 16 and up). The business is featured on The Adventure Collective and operates from Metz, serving visitors and local residents seeking boat hire, family boating, and river excursions in Grand Est.
Descriptions focus on vessel type, passenger capacity, trip length, and basic operating parameters. Prospective renters can compare pedal boat options (Balado, Pioner Boats Trio) with electric models (Ruban Bleu series, Ruban Bleu Scoop 2) to match group size and preferred trip duration. All information is presented in third person and reflects the published offering details for La Flottille in Metz.
