party description

Looking for something completely different for the company Christmas do 2012? Jump onboard the beautiful Cabby - an historic sailing barge dating back to the twenties and see a new side to London with a four hour cruise down the Thames. 

Complete with a delicious seated three course meal (up to 28 guests) or fork buffet (up to 40 guests) followed by music and dancing, this unusual Christmas party idea in London offers all you need for a memorable and special celebration. 

Get the party started with a complimentary drink on arrival and admire the views as you set off from your pier of choice between Greenwich and Tower Piers.  A four hour charter takes in all the sights of the London skyline including witnessing the spectacular raising of Tower Bridge just for you, before disembarking at your pier of choice. 

If your cruise includes locking into one of London's docks (either St Katherine's or Limehouse basin - tide permitting) an additional 40 people can join the party for the evening. 

After dinner, order drinks from the private bar on board or enjoy music and dancing available on request. 

Please note due to the nature of the venue and the historical importance of its preservation, no high heels can be worn on board.  Please pop a pair of flats in your bag to change into prior to boarding, thank you!

venue description

On May 24th 1928, Cabby, the last wooden sailing barge ever to be built was launched down the slipways at Strood in the London and Rochester Quarry Yard.

From the owners’ shipyard the barge then commenced trading and her illustrious career began. Cabby sailed between London and ports on the East and South Coasts, with occasional trips to the Near Continent. During the war years Cabby was sent to the Clyde and used for a period as a stores ship having been diverted at the last minute from taking drums of fresh water to the troops at Dunkirk.

SB Cabby is now proud to be listed as one of the country’s core vessels of historical importance. “Cabby" A beautiful historic Sailing Barge and "Dunkirk Little Ship" is ideal for entertaining, private or corporate hospitality. She has charm and character by the bucket load.

We can dine 28 people in her saloon or entertain up to 40 with a fork buffet or food of your choice. If your cruise includes locking into one of London's docks, either St Katherine's or Limehouse basin (tide permitting) an additional 40 people can join the party for the evening.
