The No.1 choice for private event charters since 1993
Step aboard our fleet of beautifully appointed boats and discover a quiet sanctuary in central London — gliding past Tower Bridge for parties, weddings and corporate events.
For a client dinner, a product reveal, or an all-company away day, a hotel ballroom is easy to book and easy to forget. Thames Luxury Charters gives your event something no static venue can: a private London address that moves — past Tower Bridge, the City skyline and the Houses of Parliament — while your guests are hosted, fed and looked after by a team that has run events on this river since 1993.
Floating venue, zero competition for space — the boat is exclusively yours Central London departure points, including Butler's Wharf, close to the City and Canary Wharf A dedicated event manager plans your running order and is on board on the day Flexible packages built around your budget and objective On-board catering from FoodbyDish, from canapés to fine dining Entertainment and AV upgrades — DJ, live music, photo booth, screens, and microphones An experienced in-house crew, not a subcontracted venue team
