This article outlines the factors to consider when booking a private boat charter on the river Thames in London. Please find below the factors I suggest you consider to make the process of booking your boat party the simplest and most rewarding possible.

Introduction

When booking a private charter river boat party on the Thames in London you need to consider your requirements to ensure you provide the information needed to meet and hopefully exceed your expectations. To book a private Thames boat charter, your key thoughts should focus around the number of guests, your menu and entertainment requirements and an idea of the nature of your function (this could be a birthday party, unique venue for a wedding reception, disco cruise or maybe for corporate entertainment venue or as a unique conference venue).

The internet is an ideal source of information when deciding which boat you would like to hire on the river Thames in London. It provides up-to-date information on boat hire rates, pictures of the various luxury party boats available for hire and details of menus and tariffs. Some companyies such as http://www.livettslaunches.co.uk have a boat search facility allowing you to enter your requirements and be presented with boats for hire on the Thames in London that meet your needs. You can also find our terms and conditions of charter so you know exactly what you are signing for when you decide to proceed with your boat party.

Your Requirements

The first stage in the process is to decide on your requirements, which include:

an approximate number of passengers for your Thames cruise
the type of boat party you would like; such as a dinner cruise, disco cruise or canapé reception
approximate budget including costs of boat hire, entertainment, menus and drinks
the length of time you wish to be onboard the boat on the river
what route on the Thames you would like to cruise
where on the Thames in London you would like to board the boat
if you wish to stay alongside the chosen London Pier whilst embarking / disembarking
what sort of boat you would like to hire, maybe a modern contemporary boat, traditional period vessel or replica paddle steamer?
