Background: A small, family run business, Capital Pleasure Boats is growing fast and currently owns and operates 4 pleasure boats on the River Thames. Based primarily from Temple pier (opposite Temple tube station), we also work from most other Central London piers at the clients discretion.
We mainly offer private charter of our vessels for 40 to 240 passengers. Our clients are varied and we cater for functions such as weddings, birthdays, club nights, office outings and corporate events. To complement the clients function we offer a range of entertainment and catering options, nearly all of which are subcontracted.
Our aim is to ensure that every function is as unique as the client and we value customer satisfaction most highly. We have been in business over 9 years and have consistently received a high proportion of our work from referrals and repeat bookings.
