Company celebrations

A celebration with a harbor view.

Holiday parties, company milestones, retirements and a record year worth toasting. You board in the middle of the city and the skyline does the decorating. Seated dinner or cocktail reception, toasts on the mic, and a night your team actually talks about.

Every kind of company event

Professional events that feel effortless.

The harbor sets the mood. We handle the timing, the crew, the bar and the boarding, so you can spend the night with your guests instead of managing them.

One boat, four rooms

The evening moves with you.

Start with drinks upstairs, sit down to dinner in the main salon, then step out on the deck as the city lights come up. Every space is yours for the night.

The lounge

A quieter corner with soft seating. Good for leadership, VIP guests or a break from the music.

A smaller group, or a warm-weather outing

Two more ways out on the water.

Not every company event needs the whole flagship. Our smaller boats carry the same crew, the same harbor and the same easy planning.

Good questions

Frequently asked

How many guests can Lady Thames hold?

Up to 125 guests comfortably across both salons and the top deck. Base pricing covers up to 50 guests, with simple per-person pricing above that.

We're a smaller group. Is there a boat for us?

Yes. Our Anthem class boats are enclosed, run all year and hold up to 49 guests. Mention it in your request and we'll quote both.

Who handles catering?

Our preferred catering team handles food on board, and we're expanding our menus and offerings. If your group needs an outside caterer for dietary or religious reasons, we'll work with them. The galley has refrigerators, warmers, an oven and an ice machine.

Can we give a presentation or do toasts?

Yes. The boat has a sound system, a PA and wireless microphones, plus Wi-Fi. Portable TVs are available.

How long is a charter?

Charters start at two hours, and you can add time by the hour.

Where do guests board?

Guests can board at approved landings around the harbor, including Harborplace, Harbor East, Fell's Point, Canton, Federal Hill, the National Aquarium and the Pendry Hotel. That helps when your group is coming from a downtown hotel or office, and our water taxis can shuttle guests between stops.

Will guests be comfortable in hot or cold weather?

Yes. Both salons are enclosed and climate controlled, with heat and air conditioning, so the evening stays comfortable in any season. If the weather turns, the party carries on indoors.
