Our fleet of fully heated luxury pleasure boats can be privately hired to cater exclusively for your family function or office party, or alternatively you can join us on various selected dates in December for our festive ticket parties.
Ideally located at Temple pier in Central London we also use other Central London piers subject to availability.
Private hire
Our pleasure boats Golden Star, Golden Sunrise, Golden Flame and Golden Jubilee are available for private hire for Christmas parties from between 40 and 240 people.
Boat hire rates start at £180 per hour for Christmas lunch cruises and £180 per hour for evening disco or dinner cruises. To ensure your function goes with a festive bang all our pleasure boats are tastefully decorated with seasonal lights, decorations, and of course a tree. Neither catering nor entertainment are compulsory, however if you do wish to offer your guests food or music we can provide a range of options to complement your function.
Our superb in house caterers can provide a variety of seasonal fare ranging from a simple buffet to a more stylish a la carte meal, with festive crackers added to most menus. Mouthwatering dishes of turkey with cranberry stuffing and christmas pudding will make you wish it was Christmas all year long. Click to view some of our Christmas menus.
Entertainment options include our resident DJ and disco, always guaranteed to get your friends up and dancing, a band to add a bit of fun to the party, or for a more refined option a string quartet to greet your guests as they board, and continue to play during your canapés or meal.
Alternatively you can bring on your own entertainment or food for a small surcharge.
All our pleasure boats have at least one fully stocked bar with a full range of wines and spirits at reasonable rates. For a sophisticated greeting we can arrange reception drinks of champagne or mulled wine as your guests board.
Ticket Parties
Our popular Christmas ticket party is back for 2011 on Saturday the 10th and Friday 16th December. Suitable for groups of 1 to 100 this mixed-group events is a great way to celebrate the festive season.
The evening starts with a complimentary drink of choice and festive buffet, you can then either take in the sights of London at night from the back deck or dance the night away to our resident DJ and disco. If previous years are any indication this event is guaranteed to sell out fast so contact the office asap for availability.

New Years Eve
All our pleasure boats are available for private hire to make your New Years Eve as special as possible, however for 2011 we are already fully booked. If you are interested in hiring one of our boats for New Years Eve 2012 please contact the office on 0800 019 15 16 for further details.
On the night our Captains will moor as close to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament as possible, in fact in order to get a good spot the boats may arrive at Westminster well before midnight. This may cut down your actual cruising time, however we're sure that this will be more than made up for once the fireworks start.
Post Christmas Hire
We understand that some of you are so busy helping others enjoy the festive season that you can't celebrate yourself until after Boxing Day. To ensure you don't miss out we offer a 10%-15% boat hire discount on Christmas parties booked throughout January 2012. Unfortunately the boats won't be decorated anymore (although I'm sure you'll have seen enough tinsel by then anyway) but we can still provide Christmas fare for you, or you can choose from our varied selection of standard menus. Simply quote the reference LATECHRISTMAS when booking to receive your discount.
If you are still unsure which boat is best for your function then you may find our quick reference guide useful. Our quote calculator can give you an idea as to the cost of your proposed function.

Why not treat yourself to a champagne reception to kick start the evening?
I would just like say thank you for all your help over the last few months, the birthday party on the Golden Star was a great success. I would also appreciate it if you would thank your friendly and efficient crew and bar staff for all their hard work during the evening. Chris Meredith, February 2008
