The Saraphina offers outstanding service, cuisine and wines with a health conscious approach, complete with optional yoga instructions. We've known the owner Finnegan for many years, and enjoyed working with him when he was the captain and manager of the ultra-deluxe barge Roi Soleil. He will now be your host on the Saraphina along with his wife Emily, also a barge crew veteran. We look forward to seeing them and the Saraphina again in April at the Canal du Midi Boat Show.
