More about the Golden Spirit
The Golden Spirit joined our fleet in September 2024 and was previously known as the Pride of London. She underwent significant improvement works in early 2025 including a brand new bar and bespoke DJ booth on the upper level.
To the rear is a spacious sun deck while downstairs she boasts full length windows that flood the interior with light.
Both upper and lower saloons are light and airy with removable tables and chairs for ultimate flexibility.
MV Golden Spirit also boasts a full service galley enabling our professional caterers to serve you almost anything from canapés to a carvery lunch in style and comfort. The interiors of all our party boats are non-smoking, however smoking is permitted on the large open deck of the Golden Spirit.
M.V. Golden Spirit is ideal for a wide variety of boat parties of up to 240 guests.
Whatever your occasion the Golden Spirit will ensure that your and your guests enjoy all the sights and sounds that a fantastic function on the Thames can offer.
Don’t be surprised if our boats look familiar, you may well have seen then on the websites and social media of other companies. We own and operate them, but we also work with a variety of party planners, event organisers and agents who book the boats directly with us on behalf of customers. As the owners, we can offer the most flexibility and can always offer you the best price too.
