 Verified Great addition to a celebration!
Was part of a wedding party and we transferred all the guests from the service to the reception on the water with these guys. It was great fun for those in smaller boats and a relaxing and enjoyable time for those on the larger one. Staff could not be more professional, friendly, or helpful. I can't recommend them highly enough.

 Verified Wedding Party
We had an amazing experience at our friend’s beautiful wedding. Tom and his team were extremely helpful and gave great instructions to our somewhat reluctant Captain, we had an absolute blast! We arrived at the reception venue in top class style!! Would definitely do that again.

 Verified Perfect, magical wedding!
I'd leave 10 stars if I could, my wife and I hired several boats for our wedding and it was the best decision we've ever made! Our guests are still all talking about how beautiful and fun the trip was, and especially how welcoming and happy the superb staff were. We were encouraged by them to decorate the boats with our own choice of balloons and flowers, fill them with food and champagne and just enjoy ourselves, which we absolutely did. They were so helpful getting the younger and older guests aboard and comfortable on the beautiful wooden antique boat Em, and Tom was especially fun and informative about her features and history as he captained her for them. Meanwhile the rest of our guests were handed control the small white 'Scoop' boats to have fun in a convoy of music and partying! The whole group had so much fun and laughter we didn't want it to end and could have enjoyed it the whole day and long into the evening! Their prices and service make this one not to miss and we wish we could do it all again. They made our day and we can't recommend them enough. Special mentions for Tom and Elliot, but really everybody went out of their way to make sure we were safe and very well looked after. Absolutely perfect!
