Boat hire prices vary depending on the day of the week, time of day, and duration of hire. Most vessels operate with a minimum hire period of four hours for both daytime and evening events, ensuring ample time for guests to relax and enjoy the experience. Should your event extend beyond this duration, additional hourly charges will apply.

The capacity of each vessel is determined by the nature of your event and the layout required. Formal seated dining experiences accommodate fewer guests due to seating and service requirements, while standing receptions, canapé events, and disco cruises allow for higher capacities. Each vessel has clearly defined limits to ensure guest comfort, safety, and an exceptional overall experience.
