What to expect
You'll board at Lee Wharf and settle into the dining area as the boat pushes off. Staff bring out platters of turkey, ham, vegetables, and trimmings—help yourself and return to your table. Between mouthfuls, there's background music, and the crew will call out trivia questions or announce the costume judging. Dress festively if you fancy the competition. Dessert arrives mid-journey with tea or coffee. The whole thing moves at a relaxed pace; there's no rushing. Expect a casual, family-friendly vibe with a mix of ages.
Good to know
Wear something celebratory for the best-dressed contest. Infants sit on an adult's lap, though specialised seats are available if you ask ahead. The boat is wheelchair accessible. Lee Wharf has nearby public transport links. Arrive early to claim a good viewing spot on deck.
