The ThamesJet “Rush” is a 50 minute adrenaline fuelled fun speedboat experience, where you will enjoy sightseeing, speed and awesome aquabatics. You will see various iconic sights such as the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower that houses the world famous Big Ben, the London Eye, Shard and HMS Belfast to name a few, in fact you need to stay alert because the sights really do come thick and fast on this stretch of the river. So sit back and enjoy the view as we also pass under some of the Capital's great bridges including the most modern, Millennium Bridge, as well as the world renowned majestic Tower Bridge on our way to the fast zone. Once past Tower Bridge we are heading for speed, our experienced skippers will give you the aquabatic ride of your life! Twists and turns as we wave jump and speed our way around Canary Wharf. After all the adrenaline fuelled fun, we head back to Westminster pier and you have time to admire the view, catch a breath and take in the great experience of speeding along the Thames and maybe even get those sightseeing pictures or the must have selfie.

All in above nothing else to add and don’t wish to repeat above comments
Simple and easy booking system. Efficient loading and unloading to the boat with clear instructions.
Very helpful staff make whole experience more enjoyable
It was a great experience
Great fun, really enjoyed the experience!!
The experience itself was brilliant but booking using a voucher was quite difficult
★

Fun and entertaining. Highly recommend if you have the opportunity.

★★★
I think they could of done the whole fifty minutes and they seemed to be in a rush to get back even though they had a break before we went on the boat
tout est au top............................
Fantastic fun staff friendly well worth doing
As above - great experience
Ok..................................................
Great fun, and interesting. The price was good.
see last answer please!!!
We were rejected because of minimum height restriction but we did not get our money back!
Friendly and professional
Living in London for a while I did multiple boat cruises but this was the best. We had a glorious sunny morning which was an exceptional weather for the end of October. When the boat went at top speed you really need to hold tight. Better experience than any rollercoaster
Great trip thoroughly enjoyed
Excellent experience, good value for money
Really good fun. Would go again and highly recommend.
We all thoroughly enjoyed this experience and it certainly added to my son's 18th Birthday being very memorable. Thank you to all the staff who were very friendly
We really enjoyed this! Good picture opportunity
Good value for money, no queue and able to book specific time
Could be improved with more description and history of the buildings along the river banks.
Very pleasant staff very welcoming we had a great time. It was a treat for our visiting daughter, I had been wanting to try this jet boat for some time, as seen it on the Thames, when visiting London.
Great experience to see the London sights, alongside a thrilling and fast adventure! It was very easy to book, find the location, and get straight on the boat! Would recommend to any tourist in London, as well as a local that wants to do something a bit different!
Equipe sympathique et croisière superbe
The booking office and departure point were a nightmare to find sure it said go to the Westminster pier and report to Kiosk point F but when you arrive at the Kiosk at the top of the pier there is no Thamesjet Kiosk or directions to Point F so we wasted 20 minutes look for the kiosk .We finally found directions to point F half way down the pier and only just managed to get our boat .It was a very stressful 20 minutes that spoiled and otherwise good day out.
nice and easy - love it!!
Excellent, would highly recommend it
Professional and straight forward. Fantastic experience would recommend this company
Wow, we didn't know what we had been missing. We've been to London on numerous occasions and had not been aware of this experience but we are so glad we found it. You get a river tour where you see all the sites of central London but from a totally new perspective. Then the music changes, there's a bit of theatrics then you go blasting off down the Thames. Twisting, Turning, Slapping and Speeding. The pilot of the Thamesjet controlled our trajectory with expert precision and I would trust her skill and ability in all conditions. After getting pumped full of Adrenaline you then head back along the Thames to Westminster Pier to see the sights from the opposite direction wishing that your trip was just starting, not ending. We loved our Thamesjet experience and pitied those floating along sedately in the larger tour vessels. We definitely recommend this experience and will no doubt do it again. Tips Even though it was a warm sunny day as soon as we turned into the wind it became quite cool. Make use of the supplied coats like we did and you will be fine. If you have long hair tie it up....
Lots of fun, very different to any other Tour and very memorable
Great day out. Fun trip down the Thames.
Staff on boat were friendly and fun
Good value and great fun, not to be missed
Friendly staff. Great to be able to leave bags locked up whilst in the boat. Boat was comfortable, I felt very safe, good commentary throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Excellent value for money. An exhilarating experience not to be missed. Thank you for a fantastic trip.
Great trip on thames - fast and fun
Excellent day - great staff, fantastic ride, over and beyond anything we’ve ever experienced before.
Had a great time! Something a bit different.
Excellent experience, lots ones after very well by the lady in the ticket desk.
A very enjoyable experience.
Fantastic time it was awesome fun, fast and exciting saw parts of London from the water was amazing loved it
Very friendly member of staff to check us in and talk us through the safety etc. I had turned up an hour and a half early as I forgot the time I was booked on and he put us onto the earlier trip with no hassle which was very kind. The actual boat trip was fantastic. Informative and entertaining. We loved the sights commentary and the music. Would definitely recommend!
Great fun, a unique way to see the sights of London from the River and a great adrenaline rush!
Enjoyed every bit. Probably eould love a bit longer but still was really nice
Enjoyable trip and great fun speed experience.
The safely talk was professional and made me feel safe. The running commentary was informative and interesting with a good voice to listen to. However, when we hit full speed,wow! Really thrilling. The music was brilliant and well thought out. Everyone loved it and had a great time. Would go again. The crew on the boat were polite and friendly and everyone knew what they were doing. Great day out, thank you.
Would have liked to go faster for longer!
Very welcoming at Reception & exciting event. Will come again with friends
Well organised, lots of interesting facts and loads of fun!
Great experience, the ride gave London a different view
Fantastic balance of sightseeing (with commentary and music) and thrills and speed once we'd cleared Tower Bridge. I shrieked and laughed the whole time. Would definitely recommend.
★★
Ok, not as thrilling as I expected and the ride was 35 minutes not 50. Definitely not worth £39
Had the experience bought for my 30th. What an awesome experience it was really enjoyed it. Definitely would do it again and I would recommend it to friends and family
It was a great day out, as a birthday surprise it was perfect! Such a fun experience, would recommend to anyone. The only thing I would say is that the recording describing the sites is too quiet when you're sitting in the front rows so would be good to increase the volume, other than that it is a perfect experience.
No problems very easy to book
We felt we were in safe hands from start to finish. Very informative and great value for money.
Everything really good except I thing, my trip was to take my mum for 81st birthday, I put this on the booking form, it would have been nice if someone had taken the trouble to mention it
:))))))) I ve got this a present from my daughter.I really enjoyed it . Our driver was brilliant:)
It was brilliant, I phoned my daughters and told them to book it up now and not to wait till they are 70. As my grandson would say it was AWESOME
My 1100hrs trip was cancelled at 1055 due to a race on the river. It was then up to me to re arrange another date/time. As I was in London for only 1 day with lots of plans this was very inconvenient for me and my wife. Fortunately I was able to get on the 1430 boat having at first been told all further boats that day were fully booked. Surely this problem should have been forseen and the booking system amended, it would have saved the shock and disappoitment of several people.
Excellent fun, great way to see the sights, enjoyable commentary and the story and music was fun added a nice touch. The 'fast bit' was fantastic and didn't want it to end.
I thought it would have been a little more scary, but the party I were with all enjoyed it, which is the main thing.
Good experience, shame it wasn't a little longer.
Initially, when the boat left the dock it was slow and gave an impression that was the highest speed a jet boat could ever travel on water. However, after few minutes, my idea has completely vanished with the speed the boat had travelled in the River Thames splashing water on both the sides...........gave a different experience where I have ever travelled in a boat at that speed so far!
I loved the whole experience!!! The booking was easy, the staff friendly and the experience amazing!!!!
Perfect! No problems ....
Very exciting and great fun.
It was for my 60th birthday 2 years ago I finally got to do the experience this year oh my goodness what an amazing time from start to finish the crew were lovely. I'm going to do it again asap.
All that we expected and more and great way to see the Thames and London and the thrill of the speed!
I felt that the jet thrill experience lasted less than 10 mins. I thought it could be better if it was longer. On the way back the jet followed another boat in front for 10 mins at less than 5 miles p/h. At that time everybody was bored and not excited
Fantastic! Was a second time/experience. Loved it. Treated well. Good music. Polite staff. Would highly recommend for anyone! Will return.
It was a great way to spend 50 minutes on the Thames at speed
The Thames jet experience was a let down as you got about 10 minutes of high speed and turns the rest was a tourist bit. I would certainly recommend longer with the high speed and turns and better music
Great fun, kids loved it !
An awesome trip and lovely staff
Great fun and great service
Fun and thriller. staffs are friendly
Staff member giving pre-trip instructions was very professional, relaying everything in English and French. The trip was awesome, liked the added touch of 007 style commentary. Wish the high speed section could last longer.
Great thrilling experience. Will definitely do again.
Booked this for myself, Mrs (very apprehensive...doesn't like rolleroasters) and son (loves them) as we've done the cruises down the Thames a few times and I wanted something with extra I knew son and hopefully the other half would enjoy. My other half was nervious despite my reassurances it would be fun and smooth not scary and sure enough once the boat passed Tower Bridge and picked up speed 35 knots (40mph which on water is good going) the smile soon appeared on her face. in short, its exhilarating without being scary. Recommended everyone tries something like this at least once.
Trip was fun, very bizarre staff at the dock who ‘greeted’ us. Made us feel really awkward and unwanted.
Really good fun and getting a different perspective of famous landmarks by being on the Thames made it interesting and good for photo opportunities too.
Fun experience. Commentary on the way out explaining points of interest before going full speed with spins and turns. I would definitely recommend
Staff were friendly and professional, I felt very safe. Great fun.
An exhilarating experience absolutely first class. My 13 year old son thoroughly enjoyed the adventure from start to finish and couldn't wait to tell his friends. A spectacular way of seeing the sights and sounds of London's attractions along the River Thames. Excellent customer service and highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant! Was not prepared for the boat to go so fast after Tower Bridge but what an adrenaline rush! Lovely gentle cruise back along Thames enjoying the sights. Best 50 minutes ever!!
it was great i took an 11 yo and a 17 yo and we all thought it was fantastic
Great fun - would love to go again!
Loads of fun, the sound bites were entertaining and the crew onboard were great at handling the boat. Definitely recommend the experience
