"We chartered JGF to host a surprise birthday party for my wife. I came to JGF as they were one of the few that operate in winter time. The cruise up the Thames and back was such a lovely magical event and we enjoyed it immensely. A big thank you to John and crew."

"We had a brilliant time on the boat! The 45 minute cruise was worth every penny and we plan to take another trip when they reopen for the next season. Highly recommended for a relaxing daydreamy cruise on the Thames!"

"We chartered JGF for scattering our father’s ashes in the Thames and I have to thank them for giving us a really a memorable cruise along the river. John took us to a tranquil spot where the water was freely flowing and provided us with a beautiful setting to scatter the ashes and flower petals peacefully. He was extremely respectful and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. We did not feel rushed at all. He made what could have been a very difficult day into a beautiful memory. I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend their services."
