At first sight, Thistle appears to be of the nineteenth century but during her extensive restoration she has acquired all of the technology necessary for safety, convenience, efficiency and the modern businessman.

S.B. Thistle offers a most unusual and unforgettable opportunity for corporate hospitality. Charters are usually tailored to meet clients' specific needs and can be alongside, on the river or at sea.

She is ideal for a whole variety of functions including receptions, exhibitions, product launches, business meetings, incentive days, adventure training - and so the list goes on.
