New Year’s Eve on a private yacht

See in the New Year on the Thames with the people who matter most — your own yacht, never shared, for up to twelve guests.

New Year’s Eve 2026
The most famous night on the river, without the crowds. No queues, no wristbands, no strangers — just your party, your yacht and London at midnight.

The experience

Midnight on the Thames

While hundreds of thousands gather along the Embankment, your guests celebrate in private on the river. Champagne on deck, a warm saloon when the night turns cold, and London lit up around you as the countdown begins.

Every New Year’s Eve charter is exclusively yours. We plan the timings, route and hospitality around your evening — always within the Port of London Authority’s river arrangements for the night.

Why book early

Two yachts. One night.

We operate just two intimate yachts — Amour for up to 11 guests and The Windrush for up to 12. On New Year’s Eve that means only two private parties can celebrate with us. Most enquiries for the night arrive in the autumn, so early contact gives you the best chance of securing a yacht.

  • Drinks — Champagne at midnight and a licensed bar on Amour
  • Music — Your playlist, or a DJ on request
  • Crew — Devoted to your party alone, all night
Questions

New Year’s Eve, answered

Can we watch the New Year’s Eve fireworks from the yacht?

London’s official fireworks are launched around the London Eye at midnight. On the night, the Port of London Authority manages river traffic closely, and vessel positions are subject to its arrangements. We’ll explain exactly what to expect for your charter when we confirm your booking.

How many guests can we bring?

Amour hosts up to 11 guests and The Windrush up to 12. Every charter is private — the yacht is never shared with other parties.

When should we book?

As early as possible. With only two yachts, New Year’s Eve availability is extremely limited and the night is usually requested months in advance.

Can food and drinks be arranged?

Yes. Tell us about your guests and we’ll propose catering and drinks to suit — from canapés and champagne to a seated dinner.

How do I book?
