Thames Rockets Speedboat Experience for One

Experience a sightseeing trip of your life down the River Thames with Thames Rockets. Blast your way from the iconic London Eye Pier for a 50 minute speedboat tour and take in the incredible sights that London has to offer from Big Ben to Tower Bridge, with plenty of photo taking opportunities.

Once you have arrived at London Eye Pier you will be kitted out with waterproofs and a life jacket and met by one of their award winning guides, handpicked to provide you with a history lesson with a comical twist. Think you know London? Think again! Hear the 880 horsepower engines rev up Rocket style and whoop as you whoosh up to speeds of 30 knots. Twist and turn along the Thames, past Big Ben and Tower of London, with a bespoke medley of thrilling classics playing in the background to get you in the mood.

  I can't rate this experience high enough. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and supplied rocket coats to keep us warm. Big shout out to Stacey she was outstanding with her knowledge and the fun way she put the history across. The ride itself was exhilarating and thoroughly enjoyable and the music complimented our experience. Absolutely loved it want to go again!

  It was very good. The trip was very enjoyable, about the right length and sufficient 'thrill' factor for me. All of the crew were excellent as were the people who handled my booking.
