Classic Boat Charter
S. B. LADY DAPHNE
The Opportunity - S.B. (Sailing Barge) Lady Daphne - Your Vessel for a Day
S. B. Lady Daphne is one of the most famous of
London's classic wooden vessels still sailing. 91 feet long (28 meters), 21 feet
wide (6.5 metres), built in 1923 at a gross tonnage of 117 tonnes, able to
transport 220 tonnes of cargo, Lady Daphne was one of the many thousand
Thames sailing barges built for the English coastal trade from the 18th century
until the middle of the 20th century. Now there are fewer than 40 barges
left in Britain, and fewer than 10 wooden barges with passenger
certificates. You can live history by spending a day on Lady Daphne,
as it was during her working life - one of thousands of red-sailed ships
dominating London's skyline in the days before road transport.
The
Options
Like any working vessel, Lady Daphne is accommodating. You
can:
- go for a day or evening cruise down the Thames and have
Tower Bridge raised on the way;
- go clay pigeon
shooting while moored in the middle of the Thames (allow a minimum of six hours);
- spend a weekend in a barge match;
- hold a cocktail or birthday party by the Tower of London
for up to 100;
- go sailing whilst watching the races
at Cowes;
- conduct a business meeting, wine tasting or reception with
a difference;
- try your hand at investment with the Boating
Bourse;
- spend your next Christmas party
or dinner by a wood fire at Tower Bridge;
- host a dinner party intimately for six, grandly for 35 or
buffet for 60.
Lady Daphne can sail with 54 passengers and 3 crew (57 in total),
although smaller numbers permit everyone to participate in sailing. For
"static" (berthside) charters, she can handle numbers up to 100 depending upon your requirements and the season.
