History

Built in 1923, JEFF is a passenger launch operating a summer service from Kingston to Richmond and Hampton Court.

Once a Dunkirk Little Ship, JEFF is an open vessel, ideal for summer afternoon cruises along the river, either with picnic lunches on board to enjoy the passing scenery or with stops at picturesque riverside pubs. She can carry 15-45 guests and is regularly chartered for family parties, daytime hen and stag events and team incentives for staff.

In May 2025, JEFF took part in the 85th anniversary Return to Dunkirk. From there, she was taken by road to the Netherlands, where she is under new ownership.
