Overview
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.

Not to be missed
Excellent experience from booking to end. So easy to book over the telephone and no question too much trouble. Confirmation e.mail arrived as promised. Met on arrival by Rod who was very friendly. Helped everyone put on their life jackets - which, at our age, was entertaining!!. Our driver was Roddy, also very friendly. We had entertaining commentary and a fantastic ride up the Thames. Would we do it again - definitely. Do we recommend it - absolutely. Thank you to Rod & Roddy.

awesome
The staff were efficient and helpful. We started off at a steady pace, and had a commentary on the landmarks as we down the river,with humour thrown in. After we went under Tower Bridge and past the river police's mooring then the real fun began, throttle open and away. The tight turns were really something, got the adrenaline going.

Loved every second
At first it’s a smooth slow ride until you get to tower bridge which is when the boat starts to speed up, it gets very fast and is a super thrill! I recommend anybody go and try this out if you’re in the area because you certainly won’t regret it!

Incredible!! A fantastic experience!!!!
From beginning to end it is a fantastic experience to go on. It was easy to book and we had a lovely meet and greet from a young lady I think was called Emily who put us through our quick Health and Safety intro. And then the experience itself. Our guide and driver Geoff and Roddy were brilliant. And then to blitz through the water on a speed boat to the theme tune of James Bond among other tunes whilst trying to view the sites of Central London was exhilirating. We'll be doing it again!

A Rocket boat along the Thames - what's not to like, except the weather being a bit rubbish and the whole thing being over in under an hour! It was a great and very fun experience and one I'd happily do again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience
The experience was bought for my birthday, and I had no trouble booking it up at quite short notice. First impressions were very good when we were greeted by Jordan, who boarded us in order of arrival. Our host on the boat was Geoff, he was very friendly, entertaining and gave a good commentary on the various points of interest along the route. Then there was Nick at the helm, who provided us with an exhilarating ride on the Thames to remember. A brilliant team and I definitely recommend it.

Honestly where do we start?! Bill and Mike were the most amazing crew we could have asked for - Bill is hilarious and Mike is honestly a beast behind the wheel :) There is too much to write here and too little time so all we will say is that they made Grace’s birthday one to remember and you have our word... WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!

That was a fun experience
We had a lovely experience - When I called to book no one answered the phone but I left a message and they were quite fast to call back and get the booking sorted. On the day of the experience, everything went smoothly. The person at check in was super friendly. Our tour guide, Tracey, was really funny. The skipper was called Adam. We have to thank them both for the fun experience speeding down and back up the river Thames with full blast music. Arrive early if you want to sit at the front.

The best attraction in London!
It was an amazing experience, definitely one of the best (if not THE BEST) attractions in London! Enjoyed every bit of it, and the tour guide Stacey was the best you ask for (super funny, friendly and incredibly entertaining - she would be a great stand up comedian)

Amazing fun&Time
Without adrenaline, life would be very gray and unpleasant. If someone wants to try their hand at some extreme expiration I recommend Thames Rockets Speed Boat Voyage - a great fun that can be tested by people of all ages. And at the same time, it does not require such a large budget. Thank you for the amazing experience we had the pleasure of staying with the delightful driver Nick and guide Dave
