The Tiber Collection
In the middle of the city, and away from everyone
Private boats and floating venues in Rome for exclusive cruises, dinners and events on the water, with direct access to the boats and the care of We Can Events.
The river
Another Side of Rome.
On the Tiber, in Rome, we are the name clients turn to for events and experiences. We know every boat individually and coordinate everything that happens on board, from a cruise for two to a corporate event, with every evening built around the people there.
The river has always been part of Rome. We simply invite you to experience it differently.
Two ways to experience the river
A boat that cruises, or a floating space for the evening.
Private cruise
The city moves past, and the boat is yours.
Discover Rome from a quieter perspective aboard a private boat reserved entirely for you and your guests. Couples, families, proposals, anniversaries, small groups and sunset aperitifs.
Moored floating venue
An evening on board, with Rome all around.
Private parties, corporate dinners, cocktail receptions, networking evenings, incentive moments and brand events on floating venues and larger boats.

Frequently asked questions
On the Water.
Can we reserve a boat exclusively?
Yes. Every boat in the collection can be reserved exclusively for you and your guests, from an intimate cruise for two to a larger group boat. Shared cruises exist on the market, but they are not what we arrange here.
How many guests can you accommodate?
From an intimate cruise for two to around ninety guests on the larger boats and floating venues. Each boat has an indicative range shown in the collection above; the exact capacity is confirmed for your date.
Can we organise a proposal on the Tiber?
Yes, and we do it often. Champagne, flowers, a photographer, live saxophone, sunset timing and discreet coordination can all be arranged around the moment.
Can you organise corporate events on a boat?
Yes. Corporate cruises, hospitality for clients and partners, incentive moments, networking evenings and full corporate dinners on floating venues are all part of what we produce.
Can you arrange food, drinks and live music?
Yes, subject to the boat, the format and operational feasibility. Some boats support full catering and live performance, others are better suited to an aperitif on board.
Where do the boats depart from?
Departure points are on the central stretch of the Tiber and are confirmed with the booking, according to the boat, the river conditions and the programme.
Are cruises available all year?
Cruises run for much of the year, with availability depending on season, weather and river conditions. In winter, events work best on covered boats and floating venues.
How is the proposal put together?
We do not publish price lists or fixed packages. The date, boat, number of guests and service on board shape the proposal. Share those details and we prepare a written proposal for the occasion.
What happens if weather or river levels prevent the event?
Every programme includes a backup plan agreed with you from the start. We follow river conditions in the days leading up to the event and remain ready to reconfigure or move the evening if needed.
