If you are looking for something different to do together whilst in the big city, then this Thames Rockets Speed Boat Ride for Two may just be it. An exciting, fast-paced and unique way to experience the capital away from the hoards of other tourists, you’ll skim across the surface of the River Thames, taking in the sights, sounds and stories that this waterway has to offer whilst enjoying the ride.
Aboard this purpose built Rigid Inflatable Boat (and the Visit England’s ‘Family Friendly Attraction of the Year’ for 2017/18), you’ll have the pleasure of an experienced guide, giving you nuggets of information along the way as you pass famous landmarks such as The London Eye and Tower Bridge. But this isn’t a gentle meander across the Thames, the RIB is capable of 30 knots and you will feel the buzz as the boat speeds through the water in this adrenaline-packed sightseeing tour. Make your day out in London one to remember.
The two of you will be greeted by a member of staff, receive a quick briefing and be handed any safety equipment you require. With an experienced tour guide on board you will buzz over the water with speed and style whilst viewing the most popular sights of London.
You’ll find yourself under the amazing Thames Bridges and exploring parts of the river that are inaccessible to other boats. Don’t forget your camera.

Someone bought us a voucher for a birthday treat. It was a good use of an hour in London and even as a Londoner we learnt a few things about the town that we didn’t know. The RIB ride provides a nice sightseeing tour and the fast bit is fun if you haven’t been on a RIB before
This was brought for us as a wedding present, so we decided to make a weekend of it in London. The trip was brillant, if you like speed then this is the trip for you. The team were friendly and helpful. Our crew were Nick and Rebecca, Rebecca gave some interesting facts about certain landmarks down the Thames and Nick is an experienced boat driver. White knuckle ride. But don't take our word for it, give it a go yourself. :)
I work in London every day and take the river for granted. This was an eye opener, seeing London from the water and at speed was excellent, glad to have done it XXXXX
Following a previous trip with my family, that we thoroughly enjoyed, we decided to include a trip with friends we had staying over, as part of our welcome to London site seeing tour. This time around our guide was Amy who was full of the local knowledge along with being a friendly humourous character. Ian was our skipper who made the most of the open water! Our friends thoroughly enjoyed the trip as the alternative way to see parts of London. Highly recommended!
