Does anyone know of the Barbie/Sindy dining table which turns into a boat?

I remember a toy from when I was younger which would have been the early 1990's. It was either Barbie or Sindy but I have no idea which. The set consisted of a grand dining table with long blue candlesticks (I think) plates and big dining chairs, the whole thing turns over and becomes a boat. I have searched ebay for it but have found nothing, if anyone remembers this I would be really grateful if you could tell me of the name and where I can buy it.

I'm pretty sure it was Barbie. I know I used to have one!!!
