Feedback from our private hire customers

Could not fault Turks Launches. We all had a fantastic evening, staff were kind, polite and very attentive. Boat was kept tidy throughout the event, even after our fish and chip supper. The success of our evening was all down to the professional expertise of the staff. Amazing, truly a night to remember! Well done team, you done us proud.

Very friendly and helpful staff, both the pre-planning and the actual day were excellent. The food was hot, well served and thoroughly enjoyable and the staff very helpful. We received many favourable comments.

Tim D, Friends Get Together on Yarmouth Belle, January 2017

My family and I had an amazing night on the Richmond Royale, celebrating our daughter’s 18th birthday and from the feedback we have had, all of her friends did too!
The staff,both in the office and on the boat, were excellent , very reassuring and always very polite. It really could not have been a more wonderful night and we are so grateful to everyone who made it so special!
We will celebrating another big birthday next year and are looking into the idea of booking a larger boat, but our Son has already requested the Richmond Royale to celebrate his 18th birthday in 3 years time! Thank you

The boat exceeded expectations it was lovely, the tables were laid nicely and it was a big enough space. Catering was good, good choice of music, very enjoyable.

Sasha M | Xmas Party on New Southern Belle, 9 December 2016

All went very smoothly. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Being the host I was expecting to be busy the whole night but all was taken care of by Turks. Great experience and would recommend to anyone. I assumed it would be good but it was amazing. Thank you.

Graham H | Xmas Party on Richmond Royale, 2 December 2016

It was brilliant! I kept thinking that I had to rush around organising things but there was nothing for me to do except send out invitations, as Turks handled everything. The trip was perfect with lots to see on the river for all our guests, some of whom were more than 70 years older than others. So many people commented about how good the crew was, and everyone onboard had a wonderful time.

Carole M. | 70th Birthday on Kingston Royale, 22 October 2016

Very good indeed. My daughter has received multiple comments from friends saying it was the best ever 18th party! This was despite the extremely rigorous system of ensuring under 18s did not drink alcohol, and after an hour or so the youngsters all accepted that this was how it was going to be so they simply got on with having a whale of a time. Proved you can enjoy yourself without consuming large amounts of booze! Very impressed with 2 security guards. Extremely professional and effective.

The Yarmouth Belle has a great atmosphere to it, we all had the most enjoyable night, and would thoroughly recommend Turks Launches

Mark B. | Daughters 21st on Yarmouth Belle, 1 October 2016

Professional but flexible team. The team kept to timings and were able to work alongside the commentary given by Jason Debney, Thames Landscape Strategy. The only blip was that the commentary could only be heard upstairs – but this didn’t seem to matter so much in the end as people moved around the boat during the tour. Thank you to everyone who helped from Turks staff. A great afternoon and feedback was extremely positive.

Mary D | The Kew Society on Kingston Royale, 23 September 2016

Everyone had a great time on the Richmond Royale, it was a very enjoyable and successful occasion. We were delighted with how it all went – the boat, the lovely food, the bar arrangements and service, the staff and how much everyone was enjoying it. Thank you to everyone involved!

Teresa de S. | Daughter’s 40th birthday on Richmond Royale, 10 September 2016

We had a very memorable and enjoyable night. Would definitely recommend to others and would love to do again.

Lisa W. | 50th Birthday on Richmond Royale, 10 September 2016

Excellent day, 82 guests attended and all seemed to enjoy the experience. Nice to have a view to watch instead of being in one room for 4 hours. Well done to everyone and thank you again.

Lee B. | Husbands 70th birthday on Yarmouth Belle, 4 September 2016

It was excellent. We were very lucky with the weather, the scenery was lovely, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. So much, in fact, that we’ve decided to make it an annual event. So … we’ll see you next summer!
