Itinerary
Pass by: The only building in London today since the Great Fire of 1666 that is allowed by law a thatch roof in its construction.
Pass by: Your on board comedian guide will make sure you are fully prepped and ready for this #1 experience. Feel the engines roar as you glide away from St Katharine Pier and straight into the high-speed zone.
Pass by: There's plenty of photo opportunities as you see Tower Bridge from a whole new perspective. Whether it's a birthday, celebration or just a great day out you are guaranteed to make memories.
Pass by: Suddenly the 630hp engines kick in to full throttle. Hold on tight as we propel you at 30 knots (that's 35mph!) down the most famous waterway in the world!
Pass by: Get ready to twist and turn, whooping and cheering as we head east. Catch the sights along the way from Tower Bridge to Canary Wharf, Greenwich and beyond.
Pass by: A quick stop at Greenwich to catch your breath. Enjoy hearing about this historic site with the beautiful backdrop of the Old Royal Naval College. A quick opportunity to adjust the hair... before it's time to take off again.
Pass by: Bounce across the wake in this adrenaline fuelled adventure. A bespoke soundtrack will have you singing all the way with tunes from the modern day back to the 1950's - there really is something for everyone.
Pass by: Take in the sight of the incredible Thames Flood Barrier. Pause for breath as your guide explains the details behind this feat of modern engineering. Don't get too comfy though - because it's time to turn around and fly all the way back non-stop!

A fabulous family fun activity
We went on the break the barrier trip today and it was fantastic!! AJ and Jack were our crew and even though they must have done the trip countless times they were really enthusiastic and made it great fun! Would thoroughly recommend it.
Great ride on the Thames

Awesome river rollercoaster
The Thames Rockets speedboat tour is an absolute thrill from start to finish. The sheer power and acceleration of the boat make it feel like a rollercoaster on water, slicing through the Thames with exhilarating speed. What really elevates the experience is the perfectly chosen music—high-energy tracks that sync brilliantly with every twist, turn, and burst of acceleration. It creates an almost cinematic atmosphere, making you feel like you’re in an action movie racing through London. The combination of speed, scenery, and soundtrack makes this one of the most exciting and memorable ways to see the city. Shout out to. Rocky who I have travelled with several times now, and Matt, who is a wizzard behind the wheel.
