Overview

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.

100% recommend

Published on Mar, 2025

We had the best time. Debbie was brilliant, even lending me a waterproof coat with a hood. This was a surprise birthday present and I was a bit apprehensive, it’s out of my comfort zone completely. However I had the best time. Apart from it being a bit cold, the tour itself was so much fun. I can’t wait to do it again. Would highly recommend- such a lovely couple who put everyone’s mind at rest. I didn’t get wet at all and felt safe the whole time. Thanks again and Happy Birthday for today 24th -Debbie x

Exhilarating and Fun

Published on Mar, 2025

Everyone had a fantastic experience. The ride was exhilarating and fast with exciting turns. You felt very safe and the seats were very comfortable. Everyone cannot wait to do it again but this time on a warmer day. Top tip is wear gloves on cold days. Highly recommended.

Would very much recommend

Published on Mar, 2025

We went on a trip down the Thames with Thames Tigers last weekend and expectations were exceeded. The couple running the trip were very friendly. We got to see so much of the city in a short space of time and it showed London from a different and interesting perspective. The ride was entertaining and tour informative. Would very much recommend to others.

Super fun excursion!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was a lot of fun and the captain and the first mate (tour guide) were so friendly!!! We left right on time and enjoyed the water views of London. Money well spent!!

So cool!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was such a cool experience! I’m not much of a water experience type of person, but this sounded fun and ended up being a blast! I was having issues with uber in London for some reason so I ended up barely making it on time (literally just made it), but the lady was so kind to me and communicative that I was able to make it on and have the experience. This experience deserves a review for sure for coolness, kindness, and overall customer service excellence!
