Your event, your vessel.
Three vessels, all our own. No minimum guest count — pricing is a yacht rental fee, so the more of you there are, the more it makes sense per head.

Built around your event, not a set menu
A charter is the whole vessel, for your group only. Route, menu and entertainment are all built to order.
- No minimum guest count — priced as a vessel rental, with food, bar and entertainment as add-ons
- Route built around what you want to see, not a fixed tour
- Menu built with our event planning team for your occasion
- Music and entertainment set to your requests, not a house playlist
- Bring your own cake, dessert or small decorations with advance notice
- A dedicated point of contact from enquiry through the day itself
The intimate one
Louisa of the Seas
Our smallest vessel, and the one people book for proposals, vows and dinners where everyone can hear each other. Open-air upper deck, climate-controlled saloon below.
The mid-size one
Eternity
Four decks with glass-walled lounges, a full bar and room for a dance floor. The usual choice for a wedding reception or a company night out.
The big one
Grande Mariner
The largest of the three, and the only one that comfortably takes a full corporate charter or a 500-guest celebration. Four decks, multiple bars.
