Duration and hire times
A three-hour weekday evening does not cost the same as a weekend evening booking or a slot that includes set-up and dismantling. The actual time reserved, beyond the event itself, has a direct impact on the price.
Season and day of the week
Demand varies significantly depending on the season and the day chosen, which naturally affects the rates offered by operators.
Capacity and type of boat
A yacht for fifteen people and a barge for two hundred guests have very different operating requirements, which explains their different pricing structures.
Catering and additional services
Food, decor, a DJ or video coverage are often added to the basic private-hire price. Checking what is included in the initial quote makes it possible to compare genuinely equivalent offers.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, the booking is generally confirmed by paying a deposit, with the balance settled before or after the event depending on the agreed terms.
Does requesting a quote commit me to anything?
No, requesting a quote does not commit you to anything: it simply allows you to receive a priced proposal tailored to your project.
