  A tall ship, Thames sailing barge or elegant motor cruiser creates the perfect setting for a great Christmas party for between 10-500 guests.
  
  
• Clay Shooting on the Thames
  Many people may have been sailing; others may have been shooting - but very few will have done both together. Combining the two on an historic Thames Sailing Barge makes for a most unusual and memorable day.
  


• Entertaining at ExCel
  London’s state-of-the-art conference and exhibition centre in Docklands naturally lends itself to entertaining on the water. With the exhibition hall located right on the Royal Victoria Dock, Topsail can provide ships and boats at the exhibition for hospitality.
