LONDON'S LARGEST PARTY BOAT
The Dutch Master is London’s biggest and best party boat, which has been host to the world’s best DJs over the years. The Dutch Master Party Boat is an extremely versatile vessel catering for DJs, Bands, gambling tables or lavish sit-down dinners.
The Dutch Master cruises in style up and down the Thames hosting events for London’s biggest promoters offering themed events and brunches. There’s no denying, club nights are her forte!
During the week, she hosts a variety of private boat parties. Whether it be a corporate event, a party for students or staff, wedding reception, birthday celebration, or merely just a river transfer from A-B.
At Thames Leisure, we own and operate a sterling fleet of boats that can accommodate all size ranges and event types, along with owning the original Thames boat hire and ticketed experiences Agency. Somewhat uniquely, if your requirements don’t quite suit the Dutch Master or your preferred date is not available, we still have you covered.

GALLERY
The Dutch Master is London’s biggest club / party boat with three floors holding a total capacity of 375 people. Not only does the Dutch Master have the biggest artificially grassed rooftop terraces but it is also powered by the world’s best sound system. Funktion One has been installed and optimised to ensure the boat is filled with crystal clear sound that will keep you dancing all day long.
When the tide dictates, the Dutch Master is one of the very few boats on the Thames that is required to have the iconic Tower Bridge open for her. So with your event quite literally bringing London’s traffic to a standstill, your guests (with phones prepped for a selfie) will feel lucky to participate in a truly unique and rare experience as she sails through.
