SUMMER SOCIALS

Making memories are what summer socials are all about.

As the mercury climbs, the great outdoors provides an ideal change of scene from the office or the home – a backdrop to shared experiences.

For those seeking something just that little bit different, Skuna’s BBQ Boats are all set for 2025’s summer months.

Based at West India Quay, these self-drive electric craft come with built-in BBQs offering Wharfers “an unforgettable way to eat, drink and spend time with others”.

BBQ Boats hold up to 10 people, with cruises lasting 100 minutes

The experience begins with a quick briefing before guests take the helm for 100 minutes of cooking and relaxing on the tranquil waters of North Dock. 

Each boat holds up to 10 people,  who can either bring their own food to grill or pre-order from Skuna’s freshly prepared food packages.

Drinks can be purchased from the on-site bar, which also sells captains hats for those who want to take a turn at the tiller.

“Our BBQ Boats offer the perfect dining on the water experience for summer,” said Stuart  ‘Tommo’ Thomson, founder of Skuna

“They are great for team bonding experience as you cook and sail yourself around the beautiful docks of Canary Wharf.

“This is a world away from the ordinary BBQ in the park or back garden – it’s summer dining, but not as you know it – and a bucket list activity to enjoy with friends and colleagues alike.”
