What happens on the day?
Topsail has teamed up with top shooters Pursuits & Pastimes to bring you a truly polished yet fun event. The clay pigeon shooting instructors are among the best in the world; the catering, boat and event itinerary are also top-class to make for one of the most exciting events in London. But without a doubt the highlight of the day will be the opening of Tower Bridge as the barge passes underneath.

The clay pigeon shooting cruise usually begins at Butlers Wharf and finishes at London Bridge City Pier. The initial cruise takes guests past the Royal Naval College, Cutty Sark and Millennium Dome at Greenwich, then through the Thames Barrier until we reach the ultimate destination at Thamesmead where the ship moors up to a buoy and shooting begins.

Should your group prefer a different itinerary, we can tailor this package to suit your requirements.For a shortened cruise it is also possible for guests to embark at Barrier Gardens Pier (adjacent to the Thames Barrier).

Please note that this activity is for private charter events only, not for individuals.
