The Main Event

You deserve the best. Your loved ones deserve the best. So why not take the most premium speedboat trip on the Thames with an Explorers Voyage experience! Thames Rockets have been number 1 on TripAdvisor for over ten years so who better to show you the landmarks in the Capital.

Whizz down the river while marvelling at all the incredible sights the city has to offer in one of the best speedboats you can find. The iconic red boat will twist and turn past many memorable places , all whilst you bop along to many hits from decade after to decade right up to the present day!

Once you've whet your appetite for sailing, then you get to experience the main event….hurtling down the river at speeds of up to 30 knots (35mph) thanks to the power of the 880hp engines on the 12.5 meter speedboat! Once you've reached Greenwich and enjoyed the view of the Thames Barrier, you turn back and do it all again!

Your own tour guide will fill you in on the history of each of the 17 landmarks you'll see and add many comedic tales in too, all of which are carefully observed by the highly skilled skipper of the boat. Together, they present you with the best speedboat experience London has to offer.
