Our beautiful replica of an 1890s stern-wheeled Mississippi paddle steamer is one of the most desirable boats for hire on the River Thames.

Her capacious upper deck provides a versatile space for guests to mingle, host presentations, dine – or dance below the stars, thanks to her large retractable roof.

Wooden paneling and sumptuous carpets in her saloon are matched with spectacular views through vast windows that were sympathetically installed to retain her beautiful lines as part of a half-million-pound refit in 2013.
