December, festive on the river

Christmas parties, festive dinners and celebrations with the city lit from the moment you board. A private yacht for up to twelve guests.

Yacht party London · December
In December, the sun sets around four, so London is lit for the whole evening, and the river has never looked more festive.

Christmas yacht party London

A festive evening, entirely yours

A Christmas party on a private yacht replaces the crowded restaurant and the shared venue with something far more memorable: your own yacht, decorated for the season, cruising past the illuminated landmarks of the city.

With never more than twelve guests, it suits the celebrations that matter most: a thank-you dinner for your closest team, a festive evening for key clients, or a family gathering before everyone scatters for the holidays. See our alternative Christmas party ideas for more inspiration.

A December evening

How a festive charter unfolds

01

Mulled welcome

Board at a central London pier to champagne or something warming, with the city already glowing.

02

Festive dinner

A seasonal menu in the enclosed saloon as Westminster and the South Bank pass the windows.

03

A toast on deck

Step out for Tower Bridge lit up in the winter night, then a gentle cruise home.

December occasions

Celebrations for the season

Team and client Christmas parties, festive family dinners, December birthdays, and proposals with the city sparkling. And to end the year in style, our New Year’s Eve charters put you on the river for the fireworks.

Planning

Secure your date early

December is the most requested month of the year, and Friday evenings in the run-up to Christmas are the first to go. Enquire as early as you can with your preferred date and guest numbers, and we will confirm availability and send a tailored proposal.

Questions

December questions

Can you decorate the yacht for Christmas?

Yes. Festive styling, a seasonal menu and drinks can all be arranged in advance, tailored to your group.

How many guests can come?

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

Is it warm enough on board in winter?

Both yachts have an enclosed saloon, so dinner is enjoyed inside with the lights beyond the windows, and you can step out on deck for the landmark moments.

Do you run New Year’s Eve charters?

Yes. See our New Year’s Eve yacht party page and enquire early, as it books well in advance.

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.
