Not Your Average Boat Party
A floating venue for intimate events with standout character
The Mary Read is our two-level canal boat moored just outside Number 90, and she’s full of surprises. With a warm interior with wood floor and mirrored ceiling, rooftop deck, built-in bar, and panoramic canal views, she’s the perfect setting for events that feel a little more personal, playful, or poetic.
From birthday dinners to creative offsites, wedding receptions to waterside brand activations, the Mary Read offers a one-of-a-kind experience that’s both laid-back and unforgettable. Cosy inside, open-air up top, and always on the water.
