We would then be able to suggest a suitable boat for your event, and provide you with a specified quote.

The hire price of boats will vary between the day of the week, and the time of day you wish to hire the vessel. Most boats have a minimum hire time of 3 hours during the day, and 4 hours during the evening. For events that terminate that exceed a 3- or 4-hour cruise, additional charges per hour thereafter apply.

The capacity of our boats depends on the type of event you're hosting. For instance, a sit-down meal accommodates fewer guests compared to a disco cruise or canapé event, as each vessel has a specific seating limit to ensure comfort.
