Fascinating fact!
Canary Wharf is named not because it was once filled with birds, but because many of the boats that arrived there when it was a working Thames dock were from the Canary Islands.

Friday night went really well . Special mention to the team on board - the DJ, bar staff (Nicola I think from NZ ) and caricaturist were all REALLY REALLY good.

From the first email inquiry to confirming my final numbers. The professionalism and 'Nothing too much trouble' approach by Carol Bowstead was second to none. She answered all questions I had when planning and leading up to the day and was very accommodating .On the day itself everything went smoothly. We had planned early set up and all went well and we managed to decorate the boat and lay out buffet table cake and sweets table in 1.5hrs. Sean and Sam were great behind the bar, Really friendly and nice. The boat itself was more than suitable for my needs. Good size and comfortable for our party.A small but functional bar and no one had to wait long to be served.. If at all. Small food prep area with microwave but we didn't needs to use. There are around 40-50 seats inside plus a fair amount of standing room. There is a dance floor was very much used... The outside deck is a nice size too for I would say 20 seats and decent standing space.. I was fortunate enough to have nice weather that day and my party was in the afternoon so the deck was enjoyed by the adults and children alike. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CPBS as the whole experience from initial date inquiry and viewing the boat .... To turning up on the day to set up was very smooth and I didn't worry about anything as it was all covered and in writing! Oh and they are reasonably priced too. All of my guests said what a great idea a boat party was and thought that everything was well organised plus they would consider using CPBS.

Great boat, good staff, all pleasant and helpful, BBQ was adequate. Great to see London from the river and it all went well. The payment for the bar was strange, cash and debit card ok. but pay with a credit card it's 3% plus VAT ? It's all in the small print ? but the bill is a £100 dearer.

A great company to host a company summer party. Extremely well organised by the event management team, who ensured all our needs were catered for exactly to our requirements. The bar staff were friendly and quick and the food was exceptional. The DJ made the evening by playing a great mix of songs. I would definitely recommend and would likely host another company event aboard the Golden Jubilee!
