Had a brilliant experience with my 14…
Had a brilliant experience with my 14 year old daughter, so much more fun than the cruisers. Tom & Max we’re our hosts and we’re great fun.
Brilliant Day Out
Brilliant Day Out! I thought this experience would be good, but it was AMAZING! If you are a thrill seeker it is perfect. Great mix of knowledge and high speed wind in your hair. James our guide was fantastic, and we saw lots of great London sights as well as feeling adreneline. Would come again 100%!

I had a truly unforgettable 40th birthday celebration with Thames Rockets.
An exhilarating and unique way to experience London and all it has to offer.
The high-speed ride combines breathtaking views of London’s most famous landmarks with an exhilarating adrenaline rush. 🚤❤️🥰
The crew’s energy and enthusiasm were infectious, ensuring everyone felt welcome and comfortable.
Our tour Guide Geoff, not only provided us with a fabulous tour, his humour and attention to detail were brilliant.

Thank you
A fabulous experience!
A fabulous experience! An extremely well-run company. From making the booking (which was part of a gift) the employee was friendly, efficient and informative. Good communication via text /email with a reminder of the location. Clear demonstration with safety procedure prior to getting on the boat (and on it) from the crew. The ride itself was fun and exhilarating - with Harvey expertly piloting and Joey giving the commentary. Fun for all ages in my opinion.
This was my 60th birthday celebration…
This was my 60th birthday celebration and it was a high octane experience. John and Joey ensured I had a special day. Highly recommended
This was a 60th present from my…daughter and son in law
This was a 60th present from my daughter and son in law and what a gift it was. From start to finish the staff were professional and friendly and knew their stuff. The ride itself was an amazing experience from the London eye all the way to the Thames barrier and back. The crew were very informative about London landmarks and threw the boat around to make it even more fun. I would book again tomorrow given the chance. I can't recommend this company highly enough.
A fantastic way to see the sights, great experience
What a fantastic experience we had today aboard the Thames Rocket speed boat. Stacey our guide gave a funny/informative commentary as we motored past some of London's great landmarks. Then on past Tower Bridge and the music started as the boat picked up speed. AJ our pilot threw the boat around at high speed to the delights of everyone on board. We had 8 x family members on board, ages ranged from 78 down to 6yrs of age. A wonderful family day out, even in the rain 😁 thank you so much from GrandadFrank & The Hackett family
Brilliant, brilliant and brilliant...
From start to finish,this was a great show; good detail about health and safety before start of the trip and a very pleasant surprise during the trip. On this specific visit,it was my Son's birthday and the crew timed it to sing Happy Birthday just as we passed underneath London Bridge; the acoustics were great.
A lot of fun, a lot of speed and the crew were careful to ramp up the music as the speed increased ,with plenty of twists and turns of the boat..totally great.
Amazing experience start to finish.
Amazing experience start to finish. Do not miss a chance to do this
We booked the Ultimate London Adventure. After a lovely welcome and being issued with safety equipment, we boarded. Our guide was full of fun, daft stories and plenty of knowledge about the sights we were passing - Parliament, Globe, 'Invisible Bridge', Cleopatra's Nedle, HMS Belfast, St Paul's. Once we passed under Tower Bridge our skipper hit the turbo and we were off at full speed!!! WHAT A RUSH!! Weaving back and forth to find the best water for thrills, the music on board was amazing and totally enhanced the experience.
Thames Rockets professionalism was outstanding. Gemma in the office helped us with our booking. There were multiple text and email confirmations and reminders as well as a special text when we had finished.
Lastly a massive thank you to Izzy, Thames Rockets Assistant Manager, who made this whole experience the best ever.
WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Mum's birthday
We went for my mum's birthday, myself, mum, my 3 year old and 1 year old.
We had Jack as the guide and driver Phil.
Jack was so funny and so kind, my youngest fell asleep and the oldest was drowsy by the end of it.
But we all thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go again.
