Get ready to see London in a whole new light with this Thames Lates Thames Rockets Speedboat Experience and Overnight Stay for Two! Perfect for couples, friends, or anyone looking for a seriously fun gift idea, this experience combines high-speed thrills with a stylish city escape.
Start by choosing the date that suits you best and we’ll send over a hand-picked selection of the best London hotel rooms to choose from. You then pick your favourite and make it a night to remember in the capital.
Then, as evening falls, it’s time to take to the Thames for a 50-minute Thames Lates speedboat adventure like no other. You’ll hop aboard one of the iconic red Thames Rockets boats, powered by four engines and packing a whopping 880 horsepower, so you know it’s going to be fast! Feel the wind in your hair as you whizz past some of London’s most famous landmarks, from The Shard and Canary Wharf to the historic HMS Belfast, all sparkling under the city’s night lights.
It’s not just about speed though, it’s about atmosphere. Music fills the air, setting the perfect soundtrack as you glide (or rather, blast) down the river. Expect feel-good tunes, hilarious commentary from your quick-witted guide, and plenty of laughter as your skipper expertly navigates the Thames.
After your adrenaline-fuelled adventure, retreat back to your chosen hotel for a relaxing night’s stay in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
Whether you’re searching for a unique gift for couples, an anniversary surprise, or simply something special to do together, this Thames Rockets experience with a London overnight stay is guaranteed to make memories that last long after the waves have settled.
