Bored of bobbing on boats with the breeze gently drifting past you? Jump on one of the Thames Rockets and feel the thrill of the wind whipping your hair as you storm down the Thames with 630hp of engine power. Gleefully revel in the pride of being the fastest boat on the river, overtaking cruisers as you go.
Comical, informative, entertaining guides are sure to keep you laughing even if the adrenalin rush doesn’t, as they use their wit to teach you about the London sights that you zoom past.
From the original ‘Ultimate London Adventure’ or ‘Captain Kidd’s Canary Wharf Voyage’ especially for families, the Thames Rockets are a great way for you and your youngsters to see London’s sights whilst experiencing the ride of your life! For large groups, private tours are also available.
It’s so fast that when you get off, the world will feel like it’s moving in slow motion!

Oh my god this was so much fun. I’m not usually a very action-y type of person but this was such a laugh. Zooming down the Thames was like nothing I’ve done before. On top of that, the guide was so funny and made sure to point out all the sights. I’d love to do it again with some more friends. Just remember your hair bands if you’ve got some locks on your hear because it gets super windy.
I took my 16 and 13 year old sons on this trip. The 16 year old had very low expectations, however both boys absolutely loved it!
It’s a super fun trip – even more so if your ride coincides with high tide – ours did!
The guide we had was really fun and gave us loads of information about the buildings along the shore when we first set off.
Once we passed the police station on the Thames past Wapping it was full steam ahead. We had a very skilled driver that threw the boat around all over the place. And a brilliant sound track.
All in all a great way to entertain reticent teens.
Do not attempt it if you suffer from sea sickness!!!
