October, by the city lights
Autumn on the Thames: earlier dusk, a glowing skyline for the whole of dinner, and a warm saloon for just your guests.
Dinner under the lights
As autumn arrives, dusk falls in time for dinner, and after the clocks go back at the end of the month the skyline is lit for the whole evening. The Houses of Parliament, the South Bank and Tower Bridge glow against the darkening sky, and the yacht’s saloon becomes a warm, intimate setting.
October is also when the social and business calendar returns in earnest, which makes it a natural month for client dinners and leadership evenings, as well as birthdays and anniversaries that deserve more than a restaurant table.
An autumn evening
A warm welcome
Board at a central London pier to a glass of champagne as the sky turns from gold to blue.
Dinner in the saloon
A seated dinner or canapés inside, the city lights reflected in the water beyond the windows.
Tower Bridge by night
Step out on deck for the landmark moment, then a gentle cruise back to the pier.
Reasons to book in autumn
Autumn birthdays, anniversary dinners, proposals by the city lights, client entertaining and leadership dinners, and early Christmas party planning for teams who want to secure the best dates.
Plan ahead for the festive season
October is also the moment to secure December. Festive dates on the river go quickly, so if a Christmas party or a New Year’s Eve charter is on your mind, enquire now. For an October charter, both yachts have an enclosed saloon, so the evening is comfortable whatever the weather.
October questions
Is the yacht comfortable in autumn?
Yes. Both yachts have an enclosed saloon, so you can dine inside with the city lights beyond the windows and step out on deck whenever you like.
How many guests can come?
Up to eleven guests on Amour and up to twelve on The Windrush. Every charter is exclusively private.
Should we book Christmas now?
If you have a December date in mind, October is the ideal time to enquire. Festive evenings are the most requested of the year.
Is this a party boat?
No. A yacht party with us is a private charter: no shared deck, no tickets and no strangers. Just your guests, your music and a dedicated crew, with never more than twelve on board.
