The DJ will play tunes we request, as the whole boat is hired for us. We will see scenes in the daylight and at night. We will also be passing a 'Boat Lock' where you'll get to experience how a boat moves through two different levels of water. The route will be either up toward the Sunbury route or down to the Richmond route; they cannot say exactly at this time. The lower deck of the boat is fully enclosed with a sitting area.

The corkage fee is £12.00 per 75cl bottle of sparkling or still wine; this is the only product they allow corkage on.
