Building of the Barracuda began in 1975 by a company called Southern Ship Builders in Faversham near the River Medway. Half way through the build, Southern Ship Builders went into administration, but luckily the Barracuda was saved by Woods Silver Fleet, owned by Alan Woods, who completed the build of the Barracuda in Middlesex. Once completed and fully fitted, the boat was finally launched in London in May 1977.

Most recently the Barracuda was privileged to take part in the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations in the River Pageant on Sunday 3rd June 2012, a moment that will be remembered for many years to come.

In its 37 years, the Barracuda has carried Royalty on numerous occasions, and held celebrity parties, including the likes of Elton John, Rod Stewart, Thandie Newton and many more. The Barracuda will be sure to impress you and your guests. Floor plan

“From initial enquiry through to disembarking the last guest on the night, we had a faultless experience with the excellent Barracuda team. We used the Barracuda for an informal welcome evening of international guests attending a conference, picking them up from the Chelsea venue and cruising past some of London’s most iconic buildings provided a real night to remember. Everything was taken care of professionally and efficiently thus ensuring everyone (including us organisers!) had a wonderful night. Huge thank you to everyone involved in making it such a success!”

Effective Event Solutions “I would definitely recommend and encourage everyone to book the Barracuda for a private event. They were extremely flexible all the time, and very patient with my demanding clients. The Barracuda is very elegant, food is super tasty and the service is unbeatable. It has been a pleasure to deal with Tom Bennett and Danny, who were very helpful before and during the event and who reacted quickly and in a positive way to all the last minute unexpected demands.” “Thanks a million again!”
