Due to popular demand, we’ve scheduled an early boat party this May 2025 so you can make the most of London’s beautiful spring days! With longer daylight hours, plenty of sunshine, and stunning views of the city, this is the perfect time to enjoy a unique experience while cruising down the Thames.
We’re bringing together up to 240 singles for an unforgettable afternoon aboard the Golden Spirit. With a guaranteed 50:50 male-to-female ratio, it’s the ultimate opportunity to meet new people in a relaxed and lively atmosphere.
This three-hour daytime cruise is all about connection and fun, starting with our popular lock and key icebreaker. This playful activity ensures you’ll meet loads of people as you search for the key that matches your lock (or vice versa).
The Golden Spirit’s spacious sun deck is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine, sip on a refreshing drink from the bar, and take in breathtaking views of the city.
So why not get on the Love Boat this May 2025? Join us for an afternoon of mingling, laughter, and new connections—you’re sure to meet some amazing people and create memories you’ll never forget!

We’ve hired London's best party boat, Golden Spirit for this afternoon boat party. Set over two decks with a large open sun deck so you can take in the views of the stunning London skyline as you meet more people than you ever thought possible in three hours.
This is quite possibly our most sociable event ever!
To get everyone mingling fast this event features our lock and key icebreaker. Half the group will get the padlocks and half will get keys and the aim is to find a matching pair.
Try your key with as many locks as possible (or vice versa) and you're bound to find a match. This breaks the ice brilliantly and you’ll meet loads of people as you go.
When you find a matching set, both you and your 'match' head to our desk where you'll enter our prize draw to win some great prizes at the end of the cruise. The more people you meet the more chance you have of winning a prize and of course meeting someone you like too.
Online matching and messaging
You're bound to meet loads of people at this party, that's guaranteed, but at this party, there's no need to ask for phone numbers. Upload a picture to your profile and you'll be visible on our matching system both during and after the event. Select the people you want to see again and our system will reveal everyone you mutually matched with the following day.
Get in touch with anyone you matched with via the built-in messenger. No other company has this and it really sets our event apart.
