Venue space on the Thames - River Yacht

A new concept for entertaining on the River Thames

Reimagining a simple river boat design, with the spacious, rectangular footprint of a pavilion framing the cinematic London riverbank, 360 in glass.
The interior, by leading British designer Tom Dixon, has been reinvigorated with his ‘Iron Beige’ wool carpeting reflecting the textures of London’s bridges, and additional walnut cork wall cladding and charcoal grey lacquer.

Epic views and cool breezes

Huge windows glide open to wooden decks adding to your epic views, letting cool breezes flow through on warmer days together with the shade of electric canvas awnings throughout (and if you still desire it, air con). Choose to drop anchor (super eco) at one of our private piers or plot a voyage with our crew anywhere between Chelsea and Royal Greenwich. For a static event we recommend our exclusive berths at the London Eye Pier or Tower Bridge Quay.
