About This Experience in London

We love what we do. In 2021 we were voted "#1 Best of the Best - Top Thing to do in London" by Trip Advisor. Travel at High-Speed on the biggest speedboats on the Thames for over 10 miles, with an unrestricted forward view of our great city. We offset all our carbon emissions at our own cost. We offer a full refund, if trips are cancelled with 24 hours notice. You'll be welcomed at Tower Bridge Quay and given protective clothing, a lifejacket and a full safety briefing.  You'll take your place onboard, in an Ullman suspension seat. We'll head off down river at 35mph (56kph), blasting through historic Wapping, past Canary Wharf and the Cutty Sark at Greenwich.  We'll do a high speed turn at the O2 Arena and head back to Tower, all accompanied by great music.  Then we'll slow down for a cruise up to Blackfriars and back with a tour guide. You'll spend 45 minutes on the river, that you'll never forget!   Our skipper and guide are highly experienced and very friendly and welcoming.
