Life afloat has never been this good

All aboard The Boathouse, a sophisticated barge in the heart of West London. Made.com designed Scandinavian-inspired interiors will have you smiling from the elegant, chic light fixtures to the luxuriously spacious and surprising galley, equipped with a dine-in bar. But it’s all about the bathrooms. No squeezing into small spaces here, with high ceilings and elegant, contemporary white metro tiles a striking contrast to matt-black fixtures. Portholes and other nautical ephemera throughout nod to the history of the vessel and this distinct home-away-from-home. You might even want to go out and purchase a yacht after a weekend here. Life afloat has never been this good. And never this zen with onboard yoga retreats available.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Luxurious interiors of The Boathouse

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Take your pick of equally inspired and off-the-beaten path amenities like two beach cruisers outfitted with a three-bottle leather wine carrier for romantic picnics in nearby Kew Gardens. After a champagne reception, your boat captain for the day will take you on a breathtaking sail down the historic river Thames. But perhaps you prefer to hop into your romantic wooden dinghy and row away for the day. After a day of touring the city, your private chef greets you with all your favourite dishes and wine pairings. boathouselondon.co.uk ◼[/vc_column_text][vc_basic_grid post_type=”ids” element_width=”12″ initial_loading_animation=”none” grid_id=”vc_gid:1541070219163-d0c06277-a0d2-9″ include=”16012″][vc_column_text]
