While our floating restaurant is designed to offer a cosy and intimate experience, it may have some accessibility limitations. We recommend contacting our team to discuss any specific needs or concerns so we can accommodate you as best as possible. We cannot accommodate wheelchair users. However, anyone who can walk a short distance along the public path to the boat and negotiate the small number of steps on board will enjoy the experience. Once seated on board, there is very little need to move around.

We can accommodate a range of entertainment options, from live music and DJs to more intimate performances like acoustic sets. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll help coordinate the perfect entertainment for your Christmas party.

We recommend booking as early as possible, as our Christmas dates fill up quickly. Ideally, reserve your spot at least a few months in advance to secure your preferred date and package.

Yes! Lovin Dublin and the Sunday Business Post have praised our Christmas parties for delivering exceptional festive experiences. From our cosy atmosphere and tailored packages to the quality of food and entertainment, we’ve been recognized as one of Dublin’s top choices for memorable Christmas celebrations.

We offer a 2, 3 or 4-hour Christmas Canal Event. All events include a cruise along the Grand Canal between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, during which we will pass up and down through one of the 200-year-old canal locks.

We typically cruise from Mespil Road, passing through several locks. It is an attractive route through tree-lined banks and under Georgian bridges, and most of our guests enjoy spending time on deck, watching our crew operate the locks or admiring the views. The cruise duration will typically vary from up to 1.5 hours (as part of a 2-hour charter) or up to 2.5 hours (as part of a 3- or 4-hour charter).
