The weekend: the obvious choice for a party
Saturday evenings are the most requested slots, particularly for weddings, birthdays and private parties. They suit guests who are travelling from afar, but need to be booked well in advance.
The week: availability and a hushed atmosphere
During the week, boats are easier to get hold of and the quays are quieter. It is a sensible choice for corporate events, team dinners or intimate receptions.
Criteria for deciding
- Your guests' availability and their travel constraints
- The type of event: corporate or festive
- Sensitivity to price, which can vary depending on the date
Plan ahead to keep your options open
Whichever day you choose, booking early widens the range of boats and times. In high season, planning becomes a real advantage.
