Sunset and evening cruises provide a calm, atmospheric setting, with both indoor and outdoor space available onboard. These are particularly popular for special occasions and memorable moments.

Shamrock Escapes also offers overnight stays aboard the boat while moored in a marina, providing a unique and peaceful alternative to a hotel allowing guests to enjoy the atmosphere of life on the water without the boat leaving the marina.

These stays are available to book via Airbnb and do not involve the boat leaving the marina. Availability, pricing, and house rules are managed directly through Airbnb.

Shamrock Escapes offers private, discreet trips for the scattering of ashes, providing a calm and respectful setting on the River Thames.

These trips are handled with care and sensitivity. All arrangements are subject to river conditions, environmental considerations, and prior agreement.

Ash scattering can only take place using appropriate biodegradable containers, and the skipper’s decision on location and timing is final to ensure safety and compliance.

If you would like to discuss a remembrance trip, please contact us privately.
