A new era of Thames chartering.
We’re proud to launch our excusive partnership with one of London’s most iconic hotels, the Shangri-La, found at the top of The Shard. Together we offer unforgettable experiences from both high in the clouds and low on the water.
Sip sundowners and witness London’s landmarks come alive whilst the leading mixologists shake your perfect cocktails. Illuminate’s covered outer deck makes it’s the best yacht in London for a cocktail cruise, whatever the weather.
Make a romantic gesture or proposal onboard Illuminate with a truly tailored experience; from bespoke menus, personalised playlists or even a private musician, our team will go above and beyond to make sure whatever the occasion, it’s unforgettable.
Our private chefs will create a menu that is bespoke to each charter. Choosing from a range of cuisines and a wide selection of wines, each menu will be tailored to fit the palette of those who dine onboard. We offer seated fine dining for up to six, and canapes for up to ten guests.
Our open top deck, charismatic tour guides and various pick up and drop off points allow you to discover the timeline of the Thames. The best sightseeing tour in town
Now deemed the ‘go-to yacht for the stars’, Illuminate has become London’s most in-demand boat for VIPs transfers to the O2. A private space to pre-party, guests can raise a glass ahead of the gig and arrive in style, just steps away from the arena. And as the lights come on, jump back onboard to skip the traffic and crowds.
We’re proud to have featured within many iconic productions. From luxury photoshoots to Bollywood blockbusters, commercials to live broadcasts, our team will move the yacht into position to get the best shots possible.
From press trips to product launches, Illuminate has hosted some of the world’s most luxury names. Flying the flag of your brand, we transform the yacht to be a floating extension of your brands values. We offer block booking rates, plus multiple opportunities for branding throughout.
The Illuminate London yacht experience is truly premium from start to finish, offering exceptional elegance and service that our guests enjoy every time.

I had an amazing day celebrating my birthday. The team were incredible in making the experience just as luxurious as the yacht itself. No better way to take in the sites of London whilst enjoying the comforts of this beautiful yacht.

We have been booking Illuminate for the last 4 years – for milestone birthdays and celebrations – and always have such an incredible time. We can’t wait for the next charter.

We had the best time on Illuminate with my friends and family for my hen party. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see London from a whole new angle with a glass of bubbles in hand! The team were great and made lots of effort to make the charter so special for us.

Inspired by London’s spectacular Illuminated River Project – a long term light
installation that will transform 15 of the cities bridges into unique works of art.
And what better way to experience each bridge than from Illuminate’s
covered rear deck and open air flybridge.
