  From the moment we set foot on the Golden Spirit to set up , we were made to feel so welcome by Joanne and her wonderful staff! As the birthday boy, they even sorted me out a pint before the bar opened haha! If you are planning a party, look no futrher, as the attention to detail and fabulous service of Joanne, Maya and the rest of the team was second to none.

Stuart The Skipper had us on the 'high seas' on time and back in one piece, which is no mean feat considering some of my friends haha!

All in all, I would recommend booking with Capital Pleasure Boats to anyone. Top notch all round.

  After using CPB for the first time in my recent SOUL/SKA event HERD it through the grapEvInE for a SOLD OUT event last Saturday on the smaller Golden Star vessel, we'll definitely be back but with one of their bigger boats. Their before care & attention to detail was first class and on the day, the crew (Captain, bar staff & security) were helpful, polite & hard working & kept a very thirsty crowd happy. The in house sound system done the job perfectly & everyone danced & sang the afternoon/evening away. Highly recommend.

  We hired the Golden Star for a joint birthday party. The party itself went fantastically, and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. The booking process and organisation in the run-up were also extremely professional - I would highly recommend.

  Where do I begin? CPBS provided the most seamless service from start to finish. From enquiring about our booking, to facilitating viewings of the boat, to the final day i could not fault a single thing. Firstly I must thank Hayley who was our events coordinator and she could not have done enough for us, no question was silly and no request was too much. We are beyond grateful to all the staff at CPBS for making our day so extra special, their service was impeccable and they were constantly ensuring everything was going as planned and all guests were accommodated. The caterers at flying eagle catering were amazing and worked extremely hard to make sure there was plenty of great food available of which guests all gave great feedback about. Dave the DJ was also brilliant, playing great tunes and was acceptant of guests requests. We will be forever grateful to CPBS and all additional services involved in our wedding day for making our dream come to life.

  We had an exceptional afternoon on the Golden Star for our wedding ceremony and reception. Both of us and all our guests were blown away - from the quality of the space and sound to the attention of the staff to shape the afternoon how we wanted it to be. Would really recommend.

  Wow, wow, wow! I don't have words to describe what an amazing all round experience this was. The team were friendly and professional and took such great care of me and my guests throughout the whole experience. All of my guests also said what a unique and special perspective the trip gave us. I wouldnt hesitate to thoroughly recommend this to anyone planning an event.

  We booked the Golden Star for our company summer drinks, and it was a pleasure dealing with CPB from the initial enquiry right through to the event itself.

Everything was really well organised, the evening ran smoothly, and everyone had a fantastic time. It was a great way to do something a little different and enjoy drinks while cruising along the Thames.

We’d definitely recommend CPB for a company event and would happily book again!

  It was an ideal way to get all of our family together to celebrate a big birthday. It was easy to arrange with CPB and we were very well looked after by excellent staff on the boat.
