In June 2022, my friends and I decided to organise a special celebration to mark my 25th birthday. For almost a decade, I hadn’t celebrated any birthdays. The last one I celebrated before this was my 18th birthday, so it felt like a really new adventure for me. But with hyped-up friends like mine, there was no way this wouldn’t happen.
In fact, they’ve been planning on hosting this event since I turned 20. Practically, we spent 5 years daydreaming about how this event will turn out and everything else that has to be done on that day.
So the day came, and we decided to try something else. I’ve been to lots of birthday parties since I turned 18, and they all felt the same. Since my friends wanted this so badly, I thought we could make mine a lot better than what everyone else does. So we opted to have a boat party.
Trust me, my family wasn’t exactly cool with the idea, especially my girlfriend, who is thalasso-phobic. So we had to wrestle with lots of drawbacks, but in the end, everyone saw reason in what we wanted to do.
Now, it was time to find a good and safe boat to embark on the trip with. So, my friends and I went on a mission to find the best boat. Thankfully, we came across Thames Party Boats, which had two of the best party boats we’ve ever come across.
We decided to go with the smaller boat, which had a total capacity of 140 passengers, mostly because I wanted a more intimate event with very few people.
That boat party was the most exciting moment of my life. The best part of the whole party was the DJs on the boat, who gave us a thrilling experience. For me, the entire crew stood out, and they understood exactly what we were trying to achieve with this party.
I am surely bringing my 30th birthday party to the Thames River on this same boat!
