Private Charters
Electra offers a unique venue for you and your guests on your own private cruise. Relax and admire the scenery with a drink in hand from the Galley Bar, or enjoy some catering on board.
Special occasions
Electra is perfect for a special birthday, anniversary, or a celebration cruise with family and friends.
You can even bring your own celebration cake, as long as you let us know in advance.
Business
Electra is a great venue for business in MK. You can deliver talks and activities on board, meet with clients or colleagues, host marketing events, or maybe even a team meeting with a difference?

We welcome charter bookings from community groups and offer a 10% discount to Registered Charities.
