A bespoke private hire is a focused, intimate experience: you book the boat for your group and use the vessel as a private venue to mark an occasion, with time on the water tailored to the length of your event.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this private hire suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small Celebration GroupsWell suited — the hire is explicitly intended for private celebrations and is sized for small parties up to 12 people.
2
Couples or Intimate PartiesA good match for couples or tight-knit groups seeking a private, waterside venue within the boat’s 12‑person limit.
3

Large GroupsNot ideal for large parties — the private boats are limited to a maximum of 12 passengers, so larger events will require alternative arrangements.
