Traveler reviews
Excellent, highly recommended!
We departed from London Eye Pier and originally wanted to book the “Break the Barrier” package, which is around 50 minutes of speedboating, but unfortunately it was fully booked. We went for the next best option instead, around 20 minutes of sightseeing followed by around 20 minutes of speedboating. The speedboating itself was excellent! so much fun and genuinely exciting! Our guide and the one riding the boat, Jeff and Phil, were absolutely lovely. Our guide was very sweet, informative, enthusiastic and interactive throughout. He made us feel really welcomed and included, and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing. The weather was slightly drizzly on the day, but honestly, once the speedboating started, we barely noticed the rain. It was such a fun experience and definitely the highlight of the trip. A big thank you to both Jeff and Phil for making it such a memorable experience. Would definitely recommend Thames Rockets for a fun day out!
Rocking down the Thames!
Amazing experience on the River Thames with Thames Rockets. From the start, the check in process was very easy and very informative of how to put on the lifejackets and good safety briefing. We the met the crew and these two guys were absolutely brilliant Max the Captain of the boat and Jeff was our guide. 5 stars just to them both alone. Gave us a good tour down the river pointing out landmarks and history. Until we get past the speed limited area and then the fun happens, super fast twist and turns and the odd jump. Overall I would definitely book again and recommend to anyone, local or tourists.
Absolutely the best.

Exhilaration and humour down the Thames
This boat ride was a blast! Started out with zipping down the Thames; skipper Ben selected just the right amount of speed and turns to keep us on our toes but still in the boat. On the way back, we slowed a bit and Ginger Jack was a phenomenal guide. Hilarious while giving us lots of juicy tidbits about London and its icons. I’d totally go for another ride!
