Best experience ever

Best experience ever. Although it was fast I didn't feel frightened at all (I truly thought I would be) but the staff are fantastic both from a safety point of view and also so so friendly and welcoming. Don't be put off by the high speeds - you will feel safe. Love love loved it.

Excellent High Speed Adventure Through London

We booked a trip with Thames Rockets as part of a stag do - and we were very pleased we did! Had a fantastic trip along the thames with our guide Craig and pilot Phil - both of whom were extremely friendly & welcoming, and very good at their jobs.

We had a group of 12 so were able to charter a boat just for ourselves, and to be honest we all know London very well - so when Craig asked us if we want the full guided tour or would we rather just enjoy the boat and get up some speed we naturally opted for the latter (well it was a group of blokes on a stag do after all!). And boy did they oblige!!!

A ten minute journey took us past Tower Bridge where the speed restrictions open up, and they really did put the nautical equivalent of the 'pedal to the metal'. We were lucky to have great weather, so coupled with the fantastic scenery and the exhilaration of weaving around on a high speed rib, it really made our day.

We would thoroughly recommend the experience :)

THAMESROCKET \ Extereme interesting fun on the thames

I had a friend of mine visiting me for the weekend in London who has done so before. I always look to do something different. I saw on the 2 for 1 london website lots of interesting things to do or visit in the capital but the THAMESROCKET caught my eye. I looked the ride up on there website and it ticked all the right boxes. On Monday 26th June 2018 we were booked on the 11 o clock ride, we made our way to pier 1 below the London eye. We were greeted by a very bubbly enthusiastic boat hand called Stacey. after the introduction and health and safety information we were shown how two put on our life jackets then made our way onto the 12 seater rib. As luck would have it, we managed to get the front row seats. As the boat pulled away from the pier heading down stream again a bit more information from Stacey including an introduction to MAD MAX THE CAPTAIN and we was told enjoy the view. Soon after we past Tower Bridge MAD MAX THE CAPTAIN opened the the engines fully ( NOW I KNOW WHY ITS CALLED THAMES ROCKET!) High speed on the thames with sharp turns made this an unforgettable experience which I highly recommend. we reached a point when we turned making our way back..............AT HIGH SPEED WITH MORE EXHILARATING TURNS. When they reached the point of sensible speed on the thames, Stacey then gave us a very informative guide and information on all the famous land marks which stretch back to the pier. Monday been one of the warmest days of the year added to what was a truly brilliant experience. Thank you Thamesrocket, Stacey and mad max the captain. And in the words of arnie.............I WILL BE BACK!
