The Neo Boat Party Story

The Neo Boat Party is a curated boat party for the creative industries, founded by Nat Cartier. It is currently hosted on the River Thames in London, bringing together professionals, creators and tastemakers across music, fashion, art, media, tech, design and beyond.

When I moved to London in October 2024, I thought to myself: what is the most iconic event I can throw in London to impact the scene? To me the answer was clear — an iconic boat party event series.

The goal is to create a new avant-garde or “neo” scene which combines all areas of the creative industries into a networking experience on the water. Based in London, UK, either sailing past the city’s most iconic skyline or docked at Cadogan Pier, it is designed as the alternative to corporate networking — a room of creatives, on the water, having genuine fun meeting and collaborating and experiencing the curatorial work of Nat Cartier and the Neo Boat Party organisers.

Built firstly off music — both live and DJs — but stepping into fashion, with the goal of having proper digital art installations, visual curation and world leading performance — all on an exclusive boat in London during golden hour.

The vision is to expand Neo Boat Party across the world. Neo Boat Party in Paris, Shanghai, Rio, New York, and beyond.
