Exclusive use of Copper Jack for up to 40 guests
A Private Charter gives your group exclusive access to Copper Jack rather than sharing space on a public sailing. That privacy makes it suitable for corporate rewards, society outings and family gatherings while keeping the party together.
Customizable events and onboard extras
Operators invite you to tailor the sailing with options such as champagne receptions, decorations, live musicians or extended sailings beyond the standard outing—details are discussed directly with the trust to create the experience you want.
River scenery that outperforms a conference room
The charter is promoted as an alternative to hotel meeting spaces, with river views that make private gatherings feel singular and memorable—a particular draw for groups seeking an unusual event setting.
