Silver Sturgeon (built: 1997)
 
Silver Sturgeon was completely refitted for the 2007 season and has the most stylish interior of any river cruise boat that I have been on. Images are available on the Company website:- www.silverfleet.co.uk. In addition to her charter sailings in 2007, Silver Sturgeon ran a series of monthly Laurent-Perrier Lunch Cruises from the Savoy Pier. For an inclusive price, guests received a champagne reception and superb three course meal including wine. I took one of these cruises in the summer, and whilst not cheap, the quality and service were spectacularly good, and overall it was very good value. No dates for 2008 have not been advertised yet.
