Executive Yacht Overnight Stay with Dinner and Wine on the Sunborn

What did you get up to? We visited the Sunborn Yacht Hotel for an overnight stay and 3 course meal, as part of my wife’s 40th birthday celebrations. We travelled into the city by train and jumped on the underground to Custom House, where the boat is moored on the Thames. On arrival at the quayside, you get the instant sensation that this is not going to be your average hotel stay, as you are greeted by the 120m Sunborn super yacht in all its glistening glory! Once on board, we were welcomed by friendly staff and given the keys to our room. The inside of the boat is just as spectacular as the outside, with a grand staircase and chandeliers dominating the main reception area. Our beautiful king-size room had its own private balcony overlooking the Thames and the city, which gave us an opportunity to relax and take in the sights before dinner. Dinner was booked for 8pm, so once we had changed into our glad rags, we made our way to the bar for a pre-dinner drink. The restaurant is situated at the top of the grand staircase, which gives you a great opportunity to take a few snaps next to the chandeliers on your way up! Our 3 course meal was absolutely lovely, I had the steak and Emma had the corn fed Chicken, accompanied by a few glasses of fizz! We have 2 kids, so we took advantage of a full night’s sleep in our super comfy king sized bed! In the morning, we decided to explore the boat and as the evening rain had cleared we were able to get out onto the sun decks and have a coffee. Our stay also included a full English breakfast, which was fantastic and filled us up for our planned day in the city. Overall, we had a great restful break away and could not fault the staff, accommodation and food. The Sunborn offers a unique way to stay in city and offers a bit of the wow factor, especially when celebrating a special occasion. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return! What did you enjoy the most? Our favourite part of the experience the 3 course meal. The restaurant setting was amazing overlooking the city lights and the food was top class, which made Emma’s birthday celebrations extra special.
