There’s nothing quite like London at sunset, the skyline glowing gold, the river turning silky and still, and the city slowly lighting up for the night ahead. Now imagine experiencing all of that at 35mph, with music pumping, wind rushing past and the lights of the capital glittering all around you. This Thames speedboat experience is the perfect blend of adventure and dazzling London magic.
Step aboard your high-powered 880hp Thames Rocket speedboat, where your comedic guide and expert skipper set the mood with wit, charm and upbeat energy. After a relaxed safety briefing, the boat eases away from the pier and glides into the sunset, a quiet moment before the golden-hour excitement begins. As the city’s landmarks start to glow, The Shard, Canary Wharf, HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and so many more, your guide weaves in stories, humour and a few surprises.
As the boat reaches open water, the pace changes instantly, expect an exhilarating blast of speed powered by impressive 880hp twin four-stroke engines. Hold tight as you fly down the Thames at up to 35mph, dancing through the waves with high-speed bursts of twists, turns and thrilling adrenaline. The soundtrack? A playlist of classic upbeat party tunes guaranteed to get you dancing the night away as you join London’s top floating sunset celebration.
Once the boat returns to calmer waters, you can enjoy your complimentary onboard drink as the city sparkles around you, the perfect accompaniment in this recipe for a truly unbeatable evening.
This adult-only evening adventure is ideal for a romantic sunset surprise, a fun night out, or a unique way to see the city, but unlike anything you've done before. Don’t forget to bring your camera or GoPro to capture this big-smile occasion, the golden reflections and high speed action shots are unmatched. This is London at its most beautiful, and its most exciting.
Speed, skyline and sunset, the ultimate London night out, all in one unforgettable ride.

We had a great time zipping through London on the river. Sadly the weather wasn't as good as we had hoped but we still saw a lot.

Seeing London at night this way was amazing. Would recommend if you're looking for a fun thing to do.

What a way to see London! Never been on a speedboat before let alone on the Thames, the skipper and guide were both fab. This experience doesn't disappoint!
