London Party Boat Cruise

Combine partying, drinking and dancing as you cruise along the River Thames. Get ready to see loads of iconic sights from the London Eye to the Houses of Parliament as you make your journey. Wave bye bye to the busy city streets you’ve left behind as you step on the boat and get ready to celebrate, whether you’re out for a birthday, stag or hen do in London or just fancy treating yourselves to a quirky night out.

People often think the best boat parties are found in sunnier spots like Tenerife and Benidorm and while they’re great, don’t let Europe have all the fun. A boat party in London is just as good! You’ll set sail for around four hours, plenty of time to drink and boogie to the on board DJ who’ll spin top tunes from a range of genres.

Partying on land is so last year

Each boat includes a bar where you purchase drinks but don’t worry if you’re a bit of a lightweight, you’ll also get to tuck into a light buffet. Offering a complete party package, these party boats are really popular with all types of occasion, from team building to birthday parties in London.

You won’t find formal seating on the boats as they allow maximum room for you to throw some serious shapes. Some of these activities even include entry to one of London’s best nightclubs when you disembark so you can retire your sea legs and carry on the party on land. You’ll finish the night with the best memories of your birthday or hen party boat cruise in London and some awesome, social media worthy snaps.

What's next?

For more information about exactly what’s included, prices and where to embark, read the listing for a boat party in London now and give your friends something to get excited about! One thing’s for sure, the on board selfies will be epic!

Will the boat move?

Yes, of course. You’ll make your way through the water and take in loads of gorgeous sights, either on the sea or a river, dependent on your chosen UK or European destination.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Unfortunately not but don’t worry, loads of our party boat cruises include drinks and there will be a bar where you can purchase additional drinks if you like.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just ID to prove you’re over the age of 18.

Is the party boat cruise weather dependent?

Yes, for your safety. If the cruise is affected due to bad weather, the activity provider will let you know ASAP.

Rock the Boat: 5 Best Boat Party London Picks

Sharing is caring!

Floating along the historic Thames, London’s boat parties offer a setting like no other.

Dance to the beat of top DJs while London’s most incredible sights form an ever-changing backdrop.

Enjoy views of iconic landmarks such as the London Eye and Tower Bridge while dancing with drink in hand.

For short-term visitors to London , it’s a fantastic way to combine dancing, socialising, and sightseeing all in one fun-filled night.

Some even offer after-parties at renowned city venues – ensuring the party spirit continues long after midnight.

In this boat party London guide, we’ll help you discover the best boat parties London has to offer.

Our Summer Boat Party London Favourites

Party! Party! London Boat party (AKA: Amor, Summer of Love)

‘Party! Party!’ might just be your ticket to an unforgettable summer evening of glitz, fun, and good times.

Catch the sunset on the Thames as you groove to top DJs on the boat’s two decks.

Lose yourself to House music on the first deck, or groove to RnB, Pop, and party favourites on the second.

Tickets include after-party access to a choice of two exclusive clubs, including the award-winning Egg London.

The party starts every summer Saturday night from Westminster Pier.

Skiddle does a boat party for almost every theme you can think of!

Early tickets start at £27.

Skyline’s Boat Party

For a taste of Ibiza while floating along the Thames, try Skyline’s Boat Party.

The boat’s three decks each feature a top London DJ dishing out the trendiest tunes – from club classics to Ibiza party anthems.

And reasonably priced drinks mean you don’t have to break the bank.

The fun doesn’t stop there – each night includes an afterparty held at a surprise location.

The boat departs from Westminster Pier, on Saturday nights . The dress code is smart, or smart casual.

Expect to pay about £25.

ABBA Boat Party

Mamma Mia, here we go again! The ABBA Boat Party is a non-stop disco cruise dedicated to the iconic Swedish band.

The decked-out disco boat promises an evening of ABBA bangers while spectacular London views serve as a backdrop.

Not just a musical tribute; it’s a celebration of the disco era.

Partygoers are encouraged to dress the part, so don your best 70’s disco attire and immerse yourself in the nostalgia.

The party sets sail from Tower Millennium Pier on Saturday nights.

Tickets for this Thames boat party start at just £20.

Silent Sounds Boat Party

Silent Sounds is not your typical boat party.

It’s a silent disco aboard The Dutch Master – a two-storey party boat.

Drink, dance, and most importantly, choose your own soundtrack – all while floating past The London Eye, Tower Bridge, The O2 , and Canary Wharf .

From disco classics and party anthems to hardcore house, your headphones let you switch between channels to match your mood.

And when the boat party ends, your night doesn’t have to – with an after-party at Ballie Ballerson, a ball pit cocktail bar, included in the ticket.

This London party event to remember takes place on Saturdays starting end of July.

Tickets are priced between £25 and £45.

Bollywood Boat Party

Bollywood Boat Party blends Eastern music vibes with stunning London city views.

Enjoy a boat cruise down the Thames while swaying to the beats of top DJs spinning Bollywood, Bhangra, Punjabi Pop, and various other genres.

Hone your Bollywood dancing skills, from the iconic hand gestures to the fast-paced footwork.

Everyone is welcome – so even if you’re a beginner, you’ll blend right in.

The party doesn’t stop at the music.

There are also live drummers and authentic Indian food, along with drinks on offer at pub prices.

The party starts at Westminster Pier, with a smart casual dress code. Prices start at £27.

What should I wear to a boat party in London?

Dressing for a boat party depends on the time of day, weather, and the event’s dress code.

A common dress code is ‘smart casual’ – which is sometimes hard to define.

It essentially involves striking a balance between comfortable and stylish attire.

Usually, this could mean a blazer or jacket, trousers, and stylish shoes, but remember, these rules aren’t hard and fast.

Should I book a ticket in advance for a boat party?

While some boat parties accept walk-ons, it’s quite unusual. Booking in advance is recommended, particularly for popular events which sell out quickly.

Early booking not only secures your spot but also often gets you a better deal, as early tickets tend to be cheaper.

Groups of five or more can usually get discounts – so try contacting a promoter directly for a potential deal.

Look out for package deals too. They might offer extra benefits like inclusive drinks, premium seating, or even boat party birthday packages.

How much to hire a party boat on the Thames?

Boat party hires on the Thames can vary – it depends on the size of the boat, length of the hire, and any additional services.

Prices start at around £300 per hour for smaller boats but can surge to £1000 for larger, more luxurious options.

Are boat parties in London still popular?

Boat parties continue to sail strong in popularity – their unique setting, combined with London’s iconic riverside views, makes them an exciting night to remember – especially for short-term visitors to London.

Plus, with the range of different party themes and music genres on offer, there’s something for everyone.

A Boat party in London offers a unique blend of partying and sightseeing.

They’re an excellent option for short-term visitors to the city, letting you tick many boxes at once – dancing, socialising, and sightseeing.

Whether grooving to ABBA hits, jamming to Bollywood beats, or choosing your soundtrack at a silent disco, there’s a boat party for every taste.

So, prepare to embark on a Thames adventure that combines partying with London’s iconic cityscape.

Unless otherwise specifically stated, all party packages on the Thames have a limited number of chairs and tables to ensure a good party atmosphere. There is no reserved seating. 4. Please check your tickets, as mistakes cannot always be rectified. 5. The Company reserves the right to substitute another vessel of a similar capacity and, if necessary, for reasons beyond its control including but not limited to damage or destruction, strikes, lockouts, industrial unrest, acts of terrorism, bad weather, insufficient bookings, shortage of labour or food or beverage supplies, to cancel the booking. 6. Unless otherwise stated or agreed between the company and the customer, passengers are not permitted to bring on board their own food or drink. 7. If you miss the boat, no refunds will be given due to factors outside of the Company's control i.e. public transport delays, heavy traffic etc. Likewise, the Company cannot be held liable for any delayed return to the Pier due to forces beyond the Captain's control. 8. We recommend that prior to making a booking, any customers who require disabled access check with the Company as to whether the cruise they wish to book is suitable to their needs/mobility.

In addition to the standard T&C's listed above, please read our COVID-19 Policy below. COVID-19 Policy - updated as of 27/01/22 This is in addition to our standard terms & conditions above. Whilst at time of writing ALL restrictions have been lifted, we will cooperate fully with any changes to Government guidance as and when required. We appreciate that people are eager to P.A.R.T.Y but we all have a responsibility to do the right thing. The health and safety of all onboard is paramount. In line with Government guidance, we ask that guests do not attend if they or someone in their party is required to self-isolate or experiencing any COVID19 symptoms. Complying with Government rules and guidance. By purchasing a ticket, you are agreeing to comply with any Government rules and guidance in place at time of departure. These may include but are not limited to, the wearing of face coverings, temperature checks, test and trace and covid passports. We reserve the right to refuse entry should you not cooperate. No refunds will be given in such circumstances. By purchasing a ticket, you also acknowledge that an inherent risk of exposure to covid-19 exists in any public place where people are present, and that you and those in your party voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to covid-19 and agree not to hold the Company; Thames Boat Cruises & Events Limited, their Directors, Employees, Officers, Agents or the Venue liable for any illness or injury. Anyone attending a cruise acknowledges that they do so at their own risk. The Company has no liability towards any travel, accommodation or other costs incurred by you in connection to the booking. Given we've all got used to restrictions changing with the tide, we appreciate you may still have some questions. Please read below. What happens if a ticket holder has to isolate and cannot attend the cruise? Providing we have more than 72 hrs notice, with forbearance in mind, we will permit a postponement to a later date. You will hold a credit with us until you are ready to re-book. This is valid for up to 12 months. If we have less than 72 hrs notice you will not be eligible for a refund or postponement. We appreciate that you may develop symptoms or be told to isolate within this time frame but we ask you to understand that we have external costs that we will encounter and are unlikely to be able to re-sell the ticket with such short notice. By your own accord, you can pass your ticket to somebody else see below. In the instance that we have a waiting list and can re-sell your ticket, we will show goodwill and refund you with your consent. Can I change the ticket holder's name? Yes, providing you let us know the new name, you can pass your ticket to somebody else if you're no longer able to attend. What happens if the Government introduces restrictions which mean the cruise can not go ahead as intended? Let's hope not! But should this happen, we reserve the right to transfer you to an alternative cruise, one that is inline with the restrictions. If this is not suitable to you the customer, or feasible for us from an operational view, you will have the option to postpone and hold a credit for up to 12 months. Should neither option be suitable, we will accept refund requests but a 50% administrative charge will be withheld. What happens if I change my mind? If there are no restrictions in place which prevent us from running the cruise as intended but you have simply changed your mind, refunds will not be given, nor will you be able to postpone to another date. Whilst we are under no obligation to re-reimburse entire cancellations or re-reimburse those that can not attend, upon request we will give consideration on an individual basis. Should you have any further questions, please contact us. Previous postponements. For those that had to postpone their bookings before ALL restrictions were lifted are able to contact us and re-book using their original credit. Just refer to your original booking date and booking date and our helpful crew will happily get you re-booked in. Masks. Transport for London TFL operate the Piers and as with public transport, they request that face masks are worn when on the Pier. They are not required once onboard the boat. Should you wish to continue wearing a mask during the cruise, you may do so. Staff have been given the option to wear them if they so desire. We ask that we all respect the preference of all onboard. Peace of mind. A cruise on the Thames as an event venue offers many advantages. In line with the Government's recommendations, the boats have a good flow of fresh air as they meander along the river. They have large windows that open and have outside areas for passengers to utilise. They are smaller than many nightclubs or larger event spaces, meaning you can party with smaller crowds and are easier to ensure cleanliness. The boats will be cleaned thoroughly before and after all cruises and hand sanitiser will be available.

OUR PARTIES

• Exclusive + Private

Are you celebrating a big birthday? Have you been tasked with organising your mate’s hen or stag party?

Imagine hosting your own private boat party…

Celebrate in style and party like a celeb on your very own boat on the River Thames. Impress your guests as you sail past London’s best sights with food, drink and entertainment designed specifically for you.

We have various boats ranging in size from 40 people up to 200 people, so we can be sure to find the perfect match for you.

Whatever vibe you’re planning; we can help to bring it to life. The only rule we have is that you have THE BEST NIGHT EVER!

STANDARD BOAT PARTY

• Exclusive Charter of the boat for a 4 hour cruise
• Crew, staff, fuel, 15 minutes embark & 15 minutes disembark
• Fully licensed bar
• Use of sound system

All private boat parties are tailor-made to your specific requirements, however to get you started we have provided a price guide and general overview of the “boat lingo”.

Charter = renting the boat

All our boats are rented fully staffed with a Captain, crew members and bar staff. The cost of the charter is determined by the size of the boat and how long you want to rent if for. We find that 4-hour parties work really well. You can choose your preferred times, the latest finish time midnight.

1am too early? We can arrange for complimentary entry into a riverside nightclub after your charter has finished

Fully Licensed Bar

Of course it wouldn’t be a party without the bar. All our boats have fully licensed bars on-board, which means that you and your guests can purchase a wide range of drinks (spirits, beers, wines, whiskeys etc.)

Unfortunately, own drinks are NOT permitted.

If you’re feeling generous you can set up a pre-paid tab. Drinks are reasonably priced from £4 – £4.50 and are served in plastics glasses.

One of the unique features of “chartering” a boat for your party is that you have the ability to choose where you want to start and finish. There are lots of piers along the river throughout Central London between Putney and the O2 (North Greenwich) for you to choose from. We allow 15 minutes to “embark” (get on) and 15 minutes to “disembark” (get off).

Music & Sound

Nowadays we all fancy ourselves as a DJ with our downloads and playlists and we understand that you know more about your own style of music than a resident DJ would.

So we thought we’d let you cover this yourselves. Bring an IPod, phone, laptop etc. and plug straight into the “sound system” (built in speakers). No need for extra DJ costs unless you really want to.

You can always throw in a cheeky YMCA # to embarrass the party host!

Prices start from £2,220 plus a minimum bar spend of £2,500.  Please contact us for a bespoke quote.

“We hired the Golden Star on our wedding Day to take us from Temple Pier to Greenwich where we had our reception. It really was a fantastic way to get across London with our 90 guests. Everybody loved it because you see London from a new perspective. The crew were great and organising the trip with the people in the office was very smooth.” Theo, Golden Star, 12th August

FAQs about Cheap Party Boats in London

Can i play my own music on cheap party boats in london.

Absolutely! Many party boats in London allow complete control of the music, allowing you to enhance the overall ambience as you desire. For instance, Tamesis Dock , a renovated Dutch barge in Albert Embankment , has speakers available so you can blast your favourite tunes and dance the night away. Additionally, you can find affordable party boats which let you bring DJs, such as Cheri Amour Barge in Hackney Wick and MV Westminster near London Bridge . Keep in mind that some boat providers set noise restrictions for the parties at night.

What’s the peak time for hiring cheap party boats in London?

The peak season for cheap party boat rentals in London typically falls between May and September , when the weather is warm and sunny. During these months, the availability might be limited, especially on weekends. So, if you’re organising a party on the water in summer, we recommend you secure your chosen vessel at least 3 months in advance . In addition, if you want to stay within your budget and avoid peak times, consider hiring party yachts in shoulder seasons like April and October , when prices dip slightly and the weather remains pleasant. 

Are there any tips to organise affordable boat parties in London?

• Consider the date and time: Weekday evenings or off-peak hours often have better deals than weekends or prime times.
• Choose the right size boat: Don't overspend on a boat that's too big for your group. Consider smaller canal boats or shared party cruises if affordability is key.
• BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverages): Some boats allow you to bring your own drinks, which can significantly reduce costs compared to on-board bars.
• Potluck or catering alternatives: Explore catering options beyond full buffets or consider a potluck-style approach where guests contribute dishes.
• Compare and negotiate: Get quotes from multiple providers and negotiate terms, especially if you have a larger group or specific requirements. They may offer event packages which include food and drinks.
