Charters for every kind of day
Private & celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, family get-togethers, or simply a beautiful reason to be on the river. One to five hours, day or evening, the day built around you.
Weddings
A reception with a champagne welcome, or a ceremony with your own celebrant aboard. We decorate the boat and look after the food, the fizz and the timings.
Hen & stag
Messin' about on the river with music, the full bar and a buffet or barbecue. Bring your playlist, we will bring the fun and keep everyone looked after.
Corporate & client days
Team days, client entertaining, networking or a drinks-and-canapes cruise before dinner. An easy, memorable change from the usual venue.
Group & coach travel
Coach-friendly with parking at the Crowne Plaza, and a guide who brings Stratford to life. Ideal for tour groups exploring Shakespeare country.
Schools & colleges
Engaging, on-the-water history for students of all ages, with tailored rates. Tables double as workstations, and the commentary can be delivered in sections.
