Summer on the Thames, privately

Long evenings, warm decks and the city at its most beautiful, shared only with the people you choose. A private summer yacht party for up to twelve guests.

Summer yacht party London
A summer yacht party in London is the opposite of a party boat: no crowds, no tickets, just your guests and the river.

Why summer

The season of the river

From June to August, London’s evenings stretch late into the night and the Thames comes alive. On a private yacht you enjoy all of it on your own terms: drinks on deck as you board, dinner at golden hour, and the landmarks lit up on the way home.

Because every charter is exclusive, the music, menu, route and guest list are entirely yours. With a maximum of twelve guests, conversation flows and everyone has the view.

A summer evening

How a summer charter unfolds

Drinks on deck

Board at a central London pier to chilled champagne in the evening sunshine.

Golden hour dinner

Dine as the sun lowers over Westminster, the light turning the river gold.

The city by night

Tower Bridge and the South Bank lit up for the gentle cruise back.

Month by month

Plan your summer

June: the longest evenings, with sunset after nine. July: high summer, warm decks and long lunches. August: golden evenings and a calmer, holiday-season city.

Popular summer occasions include birthday yacht parties, proposals, client evenings and day charters.

Planning

Summer books early

Summer weekends are the most sought-after dates on the river. Enquire with your preferred date, guest numbers and occasion, and we will suggest the right yacht and route. If the weather turns, both yachts have an enclosed saloon, so the evening carries on in comfort.

Questions

Summer questions

What is the difference between a yacht party and a party boat?

A party boat sells tickets to a shared event. A yacht party with us is a private charter: the whole yacht and crew are yours, with never more than twelve guests on board.

How many guests can come?

Up to eleven guests on Amour and up to twelve on The Windrush. Every charter is exclusively private.

When should we book a summer charter?

As early as you can, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings in June and July.

Can we choose our own music?

Yes. Bring your playlist, or we can arrange a DJ or live musician for a livelier celebration.
