Hackney Wick has always known how to throw a party. Take it to the Thames and do it properly with Thames Party Boats on private hire.















Whether you want a low-key evening or a high-energy party, the setup adapts completely around your crowd.
Multiple departure points along the Thames within easy reach of Hackney Wick by public transport.
Thames Party Boats prides itself on making any event concept work, big or small, conventional or creative.
The team handles every detail so you arrive ready to enjoy, not to manage.
Hackney Wick is one of Londonās most creative hubs, and we know your guests expect something more than a āstandardā tourist boat. Thames Party Boats offers fully private vessel hire, two licensed bars, and the freedom to curate your own soundtrack and atmosphere.
Because we operate across the Thames, you have your pick of boarding locations. For Hackney Wick locals,Ā Tower Millennium PierĀ orĀ St. Katharine PierĀ are usually the most convenient. They are just a short trip away via Stratford or Whitechapel, landing you right at the edge of the City to begin your voyage.
Step 1: Share Your Idea
Get in touch with the team and tell them what kind of boat party you have in mind.
Step 2: Build Your Event

Step 4: Board and Party
Arrive at your pier, step on board, and hand the night over to a crew with over 30 years of experience.
Brilliant service from everyone. Paddy provided a fantastic team for security and Ana was a joy to work with throughout the lead up to the event. I am looking forward to booking again, thank you Captain for a safe and enjoyable tour!
Can’t thank these guys enough. They did our wedding transport from Cadogan Pier to Westminster Boating Base and their service was exceptional. Staff were friendly, professional and welcoming. They even served our wedding fizz of choice, even though BBR aren’t on their usual supplier list. Really good value; coaches would have been a similar price and way less fun and way less rock n roll! Many guest compliments have been received over the boat and many happy memories. Highly recommended
I must say really amazing š thank you for such a wonderful experience. It was rainy weather and I did get wet from it but once I was on board ship š¢ the warm welcome aboard and the service with a smile made the whole experience delightful. 2 floors of indoor protection from the weather with amazing views of London at night the bridges all a glow amazing š
I am looking forward to our next adventure š Thank you š
Went on a boat party with Thames Party Boats and it was fantastic! The boat is spacious, with multiple levels and areas to hang out or host different styles of events. The crew are friendly and the bar was super efficient. The best part is obviously the views of London from the Thames! Great vibes all around.
Most of our East London clients preferĀ Tower Millennium PierĀ orĀ St. Katharine PierĀ due to their proximity to the Overground and District/Hammersmith & City lines. If your group is based closer to the Olympic Park side,Ā Canary Wharf PierĀ is another excellent, modern departure point.
Pretty much anything. Birthdays, private hire nights, creative industry events, hen and stag dos, and group celebrations all work brilliantly on the Thames.
Yes. Bring your own playlist or we can arrange a DJ. The sound system on board is set up to handle both options without any fuss.
Just let the team know your guest numbers and what youāre planning and theyāll recommend the right boat. MV Viscount holds over 200, so thereās space for most group sizes.
