Special Event Charters

Edward Elgar is available for private hire to provide a unique venue for your special event, be it an anniversary celebration, special birthday, family reunion or group of friends looking for something completely different.

For special events with an overnight stay on board, Edward Elgar can accommodate 22 people in 11 twin cabins but for a daytime cruise and meal she can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 36 people. We offer various packages starting from a 3 hour canal cruise with lunch to a full 2-day 2-night holiday cruise including meals, accommodation and cruising. For further information, please complete our Enquiry Form or call 01452-410411 to discuss what you have in mind.

Corporate Charters

Edward Elgar is also a unique venue for corporate use. You may wish to stage a sales presentation cruise with a buffet meal, or a conference cruise for a day along with all the meals you might require. If so, we can accommodate up to 36 people comfortably for a day your staff or clients will never forget!

Alternatively, you might want to hold a board meeting, team building event or other strategic ‘awayday’ with a difference. If so, we can provide a unique cruise, meeting facilities, overnight accommodation and some finer dining for a smaller group of say 10 senior executives. Their partners might also want to come along for the cruising!

‘Super food, super crew, super boat!’
