Engagement Party · 32 guests · March 2026 · Whole Space
Absolutely amazing place with the best staff. I had a birthday party on the 14th of March there and Danny and Fran were hosting us. I cannot stress how amazing they were - they helped me set up the space before the guests arrived,they were serving all my friends throughout the night and overall were super positive and professional! They brought such amazing energy that all my friends have been talking about it - truly the best hospitality I have ever received in London. I had an amazing birthday party- would definitely book with them again. The space is amazing and a truly unique way to celebrate a party or host an event as you can have the whole boat for yourself. It’s super well maintained,you can play your own music. They have a fantastic brochure of catering and tablescaping as well - everything you need to make your event unforgettable and truly personalised.
