This 50-minute London Thames Rockets speedboat ride begins at the London Eye Pier, where up to 12 passengers board a small, fast boat. The ride follows the Thames River at sunset, offering views of landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Gherkin, The Shard, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. The guide provides commentary throughout the journey, sharing facts about the sights. Near Canary Wharf and the Docklands, the skipper increases speed up to 30 knots (about 35 mph), navigating the river’s twists and turns for a thrilling ride. The boat passes the HMS Belfast, a former battleship now serving as a museum. After returning to Tower Bridge, passengers receive a seasonal drink before the boat returns to disembark at the London Eye Pier, close to attractions like SEA LIFE London Aquarium and The London Dungeon. Lifejackets are provided, and the guide and skipper are experienced professionals. The tour excludes hotel pickup, gratuities, and food. It is only available to guests over 18 years old, with identification required. Wheelchair users cannot board the boat itself but may receive assistance to get down the steps and must be able to sit unaided. Pregnant passengers are not permitted on this ride.
