Rocketing down the river

Published on Apr, 2025

If you love the excitement of speed, the shaking, the movement and all the splashing then take a trip down the river Thames with the Thames Rockets, the women in our team dreaded it but eventually loved it. The men were OK to start with, but then they all thought it was fun.

Exhilarating and very entertaining

Published on Apr, 2025

This was the first time doing this trip, it was such a laugh and very exciting. Pilot AJ and guide Geoff made this a very special event with local knowledge and comic entertainment. Quick tip, wear appropriate wind proof clothing, we will definitely book again.

Exhilarating, Fun, Immersive

Published on Mar, 2025

Incredible experience, massive credit to Simon the skipper and jack the tour guide/comedian. Great knowledge on London with a humorous take on sightseeing. I felt safe the whole time and the vessel is kept clean, tidy and to a high standard. Overall I can’t fault the experience, we had a great time! Thank you.

Rocking Rockets!

Published on Mar, 2025

AJ and Jack guided us through this amazing experience - thanks so much to them. We started slow(ish) with an entertaining commentary, and then sped up, which the whole family loved. The ride was so glamorous. Speeding down the river at sunset was deemed by my brother-in-law to be a true 'James Bond' moment. Chosing the Sunset option was great, because we got to start the tour with day views from the river, then watch the sunset, and end with seeing London lit up for the night. AJ and Jack made sure that we were safe, though the pace was the right amount of edginess for my nephews to be delighted. Thanks so much for a rocking time!

Fast fun experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Really great experience. Ed was really friendly and informative. John was our driver and made for a fun 50 minutes. Totally dry but advise to wrap up warm as very cold when going at full speed. Safe and good fun for all ages.
