  City Cruises plc is the leading operator of passenger services on the River Thames, carrying in excess of 4 million passengers annually on our extensive sightseeing, entertainment and charter services.Based at Cherry Garden Pier, a romantic-sounding location in south-east London that was once a part of London's huge commercial docks, we operate nineteen revenue-earning passenger-carrying boats, along with a small fleet of support vessels and barges.The key to our development has been consolidation of ownership in a traditionally fragmented industry. On the river's major sightseeing route between Westminster and the Tower, for example, every boat was owned independently until 1992-94, when the interests of all the other operators were acquired and brought together under the City Cruises umbrella.In 2002 the company acquired The Yard Arm Club Ltd. and, along with it, the Restaurant Ship Hispaniola to add a static vessel to the fleet and a top-class central London restaurant and events venue to the product portfolio.I will look forward to contacting you in the coming weeks to determine what opportunities may exist!
