About the event

It’s time for our summer boat party and this year we’ve pulled out all the stops to make this our busiest event ever. Welcome to the legendary ROCK THE BOAT party!

The locks and keys are ready, the speed dating sessions are set and we’ve chosen our favourite summer tunes. All we need is you and all you need is your ticket to this boat party. Prepare to meet your match at Rock The Boat 2015!

You’ll mingle, flirt and party with 250 people as we cruise down the Thames for this three hour afternoon party cruise. Starting at Temple Pier we’ll head up to Westminster before cruising down as far as The O2 and back.

This is one of the most fun ways to see London and it’s rather romantic too!

We’ve hired London’s best party boat - The Golden Sunrise. A very large vessel with a huge sun deck, the perfect place for soaking up the rays and enjoying a cool drink.

Our tried and tested lock and key icebreaker and speed dating sessions mean you’ll meet loads of people effortlessly. Because 250 people are attending (50:50 male/female guaranteed) there’s a high chance you’ll hit it off with a few people on board.

In fact, you'll meet so many people you're almost guaranteed to click with someone.

This is going to be a party to remember and we expect it to sell out fast. Book now and we’ll see you on Saturday August 1st!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

Arrive from about 7pm and grab a drink — our host will check you in and hand you a scorecard. Once everyone's settled, the host explains the format and the dating begins: four to five minutes per date, girls seated, guys rotating, with a 15-minute breather at half time to top up your glass and compare notes.

After each date you make a quick private note: yes, no, or friend. Nobody sees your choices on the night — that's the point. When the formal dates finish, the room opens up and everyone mingles; ask any of our hosts and they'll tell you this is where half the real chemistry happens, so don't dash for the Tube.

The next morning, enter your ticks on our site and our matching system compares them against everyone else's. Mutual yeses become matches, and you can message each other through the site — no phone numbers or emails shared until you choose to.


When you get there

Doors open around 30 minutes before the start time on your ticket — arriving early gives you time to grab a drink, find your feet and say hello to your host, who'll check you in and get you set up. Everything you need is provided on the night; just bring your ticket confirmation and your best conversation.

First time? You won't be the only one — most people at any London event are speed dating first-timers, and plenty arrive solo. Our hosts have run hundreds of these nights and their whole job is making sure nobody feels lost. By your second date you'll have forgotten your nerves entirely.

Meet & Mingle

Why Londoners book with Original Dating

Original Dating was founded in London in 2003 by Andrew — back when speed dating was brand new and he was, in his words, just a boy. Twenty-three years later we're the capital's longest-established speed dating company and one of the largest in the UK, running around 500 events a year nationwide.

What that experience buys you: professional hosts (many of them trained actors) who actually run the room rather than reading a script; venues we've vetted personally; gender-balanced events with sensible age bands; a matching system we built ourselves; and a rematch guarantee we've

Complete your score sheet

After the event you simply tick who you liked on the Original Dating website and the site works about your matches automatically. If the dates you have ticked as a "yes" have reciprocated you have a match. You will be able to view the first names and message them via our site online without revealing your email address until you are ready to. You'll be having proper first dates in no time.
