Rejuvenate Your Team: Dynamic Wellness Retreats on the Thames

Wellness away days are superb for boosting morale, reducing burnout, and improving mental clarity, so why not make your next event even more memorable by hosting it on the River Thames? Whether in the day or evening and whatever the weather or time of year, our fleet of vessels are the ideal venue.

Our boats vary in size and can accommodate groups as small as 20 and as large as 500, so we can carefully select one to suit your event. Each vessel is extremely versatile, offering an array of social spaces from large indoor areas to grand outdoor decks with stunning views of London's iconic skyline.

Our Senior Event Planner will be assigned to you to ensure all of your specific requirements are met, while hosts will be present on the day to implement them. We already have a number of theme ideas for wellness events, but we pride ourselves on our ability to create bespoke packages and will work closely with you to customise even the smallest of details. 

A photographer will be present throughout the event to capture those tranquil moments, and we will also provide AV equipment for any keynote speakers. There are a variety of healthy catering options as well; so whether you want a nutritious breakfast, a protein-rich lunch, or a more substantial seated meal, we have the solution to meet everyone's needs. This service is available any day of the week, both in the day and in the evening. Private hire packages start from approximately £7,000, depending on group size and requirements, providing a natural "digital detox" that encourages employees to reconnect away from their screens.

Use the 'build your event' form to share your event requirements, and one of our experienced, friendly team members will contact you to move the process forward. Our FAQ page might also prove useful for any queries you may have. Lastly, we actively encourage our clients to visit our Instagram page to view inspiring images and videos from wellness and team-building events we have organised.

Wellness Away Day FAQs

Everything you need to know about hosting a corporate wellness away day on the River Thames, from activities and healthy catering to group sizes, photography, and year-round availability.
Can you host a corporate wellness away day on the River Thames?
Yes. West End on the Thames hosts bespoke corporate wellness away days on the River Thames for groups of 20 to 500. The natural setting, open decks, and panoramic views of London's skyline provide a restorative environment that encourages employees to disconnect from screens and reconnect as a team. Each event is individually planned around your group, objectives, and preferred format, with a dedicated Senior Event Planner overseeing every detail from first enquiry through to the day itself.
How much does a wellness away day on the Thames cost?
Wellness away day hire on the Thames starts from approximately £7,000, depending on your group size and requirements. The final cost is determined by the selected vessel, event duration, activities, catering, and any additional elements. A bespoke proposal is prepared once the team understands your brief and objectives.
How many people can attend?
Groups from 20 to 500 can be accommodated across the fleet, making the offering suitable for intimate leadership retreats and large-scale company away days alike. The team will recommend the most suitable vessel based on your numbers to ensure an appropriate sense of space and tranquillity throughout the day.
What wellness activities can be arranged on board?
A range of wellness activities can be arranged on board, and the team has a number of ready-made theme ideas as well as the ability to build a fully bespoke programme around your brief. Full details of available activities and entertainment options are on the entertainment and activities page. The planning team will recommend the most suitable format based on your group size, objectives, and the outcomes you want to achieve for your team.
What healthy catering options are available?
A variety of nutritious catering options are available to complement the wellness theme of the day, including healthy breakfasts, protein-rich lunches, light grazing stations, and more substantial seated meals. Full details are available on the catering options page. The team will shape the food and drink offer around your schedule, dietary requirements, and the overall tone of the event.
Is photography included as part of the event?
Yes. A photographer will be present throughout the event to capture the day, from activities and group moments to quieter, more tranquil scenes on board. The images provided give teams a lasting record of the experience and content suitable for internal communications, social media, or post-event sharing with attendees.
Is a wellness away day available throughout the year?
Yes. Events are available any day of the week, both during the day and in the evening, throughout the year. All vessels feature heated indoor spaces alongside outdoor decks, so the experience is not dependent on the season or weather conditions. Spring and summer allow full use of the open decks, while autumn and winter offer a more intimate and sheltered setting equally well suited to a restorative day away from the office.
How does a Thames wellness away day differ from a standard corporate away day?
A standard corporate away day typically takes place in a hotel function room or conference centre, with the same four walls and the same distractions as the office. A Thames wellness away day removes the team entirely from their usual environment, placing them on the water with panoramic views of London's skyline, fresh air, and a natural setting that encourages genuine disconnection from screens and day-to-day pressures. The vessel is exclusively private, the programme is fully bespoke, a photographer captures the day, and a dedicated planner manages every element so the organiser can be present rather than coordinating logistics.
