In June, Boat International partnered with the Weizmann Institute of Science to host a lunch as part of the institute's global gathering in London. The event saw some of the 400 attendees, made up of leading philanthropists, scientists and business leaders, hop on board The Silver Sturgeon for a taste of yacht life with a delicious lunch and cruise of the river Thames as part of a wider programme of events including lectures, presentations and glittering gala dinners.
