Food, cocktails, live music & riverside views…this is Pub in the Park Marlow 🎶🥂

From celebrity chef demos and mouth-watering gastro dishes to riverside cocktails, live music, fairground rides and unforgettable party vibes — Pub in the Park delivered another incredible weekend on the banks of the Thames.

And one of the best things about this festival? You can arrive by boat. Nothing beats cruising into Marlow on your own private boat with friends, family or colleagues before stepping straight into the atmosphere of the event.

Boat envy was very real in Windsor yesterday 👀☀️

As our beautiful boat Larus cruised through Windsor in the glorious sunshine; guests on the open back sun deck soaking up every second of it.

Meanwhile, other boats passed with guests hidden away under canopies and covers — watching on as Larus glided by in the sunshine they wished they were enjoying.

And that’s the difference when you book one of our luxury boats: fully open sun decks for days like Saturday and fully enclosed indoor spaces for when the British weather does its thing. No compromises. No missed moments. No boat envy.

Because on the Thames, the experience should never depend on the forecast.

This is how you turn a wedding into an experience your guests will never forget 🥂🤍

This weekend we were lucky enough to exhibit at the beautiful Monkey Island Estate and wow what an event it was. Far beyond a traditional wedding fair, the whole weekend felt like an immersive celebration of modern luxury — think complimentary boat trips, indulgent food tastings, spa treatments, live music and stunning fashion shows.

Our vintage boats turned heads all day - showcasing what a great addition a luxury boat trip can be at a Monkey Island Wedding.

Picture this: a bride making an unforgettable entrance, groomsmen; sharing a relaxed, champagne-filled ride before the ceremony, newly weds stealing a quiet, cinematic moment on the river or guests soaking up the magic during the drinks reception.

A boat trip is not just an addition to your wedding - it becomes part of the story.
