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.

Feels very James Bond as you speed across the water, we thought we would get soaked but you stay completely dry, even at the front were we sat.
Good trip, well organised and protective clothing provided. Would love to do again!
Faster than expected - a thrilling ride
This was the most fun I have had in a long time. We laughed from beginning to end. I will definitely do this again next year. Directions were easy to follow and the soundtrack on the boat was brilliant!
Great experience and a great way to see the sights of London.Good fun.
Good fun. A solid laugh, would happily go again. The instructor was lovely and very informative. :)
We had a wonderful experience. When we arrived at the pier on the Thames we were given some instructions and told exactly what To expect by a member of the team. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The speed boat trip was amazing, loved the commentary before the really exciting bit. Would love to do this again. It was perfect in every way.
Great fun. I loved it. Would do it again.
Easy from start to finish. Easy to book, great location. Friendly crew.
Good fun, lots of thrills on the way out but also some interesting bits of history as we passed some of the landmarks.
The staff were extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Safety was key and they took time to make sure everyone was safe. The ride was very exciting but also most interesting with all the interesting facts about buildings and landmarks. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting London
Fun filled rush and would recommend and couldn’t have picked a more perfect day.
Fun, exciting and unique way to see London
Great experience and a must do for all
Brilliant ride and very enjoyable
Staff member at check-in was very welcoming and the safety talk was handled very well! Actual outing was brilliant - just wish the fast bit lasted longer!!!
Super et très agréable ...
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience, it was fantastic, a combination of slow speed, taking photo"s and listening to the voiceover describing the landmarks, obeying the speed limit, until the boundary, and then it's full throttle to the bond theme tune!
Very well organised from the moment Grace greeted us. Boat trip was informative and white knuckle at the same time. Good fun for a birthday surprise.
One thing everyone should try
Great fun. Both the interesting tour of some of the sights and the high speed chase. Hang on to your hats!
Great experience, really enjoyed the trip x d would highly recommend it
Fifty minutes of fun, we didn't stop smiling.
Great fun leaves you wanting more
Really enjoyable fun-filled and educational 50 minute thrill ride up and down part of the River Thames with friendly helpful staff. Would thoroughly recommend and good value for money...…..and the jacket and trousers keep you dry as we had a 10 minute downpour at the end of the trip!
Amazing from start to finish. By far the most fun way of seeing London.
Loved it ! It was amazing
Brilliant day out on the Thames !
★★★★

Fab people friendly needs to go further and faster information about history given while on ride very good
Excellent journey thank you
A very enjoyable day out .
Great fun. Not having the most reliable weather for end May / June but managed to pick a dry afternoon. Gets windy when the boat is fast so wrap up
Great fun wish it lasted longer
Promenade sur la Tamise très intéressante et ludique
very good, enjoyed it immensely
Good commentary, 9 year old was kept interested and then the fun began!
★★
Not thrilling enough. Does not deliver
The gentleman that met us was great. He was enthusiastic and set the experience off in a fantastic way. He even helping my daughter who is diabetic find a toilet as the public one was closed. Sadly his colleagues then told him off for this in front of us making us feel very uncomfortable. He was showing humanity and offering excellent customer service so why he was severely reprimanded I don't know. The trip itself was good. Throughout, an audio track s played offering a combination of music and information. For half the trip the speakers weren't working at the front of the boat so you couldn't hear it just an annoying background noise.
Very good experience overall
Online purchase is convenient
Great fun and informative
Had an amazing time, really loved it. The staff were very helpful, informative, friendly and great at doing their jobs. Will definitely do it again
Nice and easy to follow commentary. Music not to my taste Great skipper
Great fun. Really professional service
Great ride and good staff!!
We were 5 to make the experience : it was awesome ! Really great !
50 minutes of fun. Whilst going slowly there was a commentary about the local landmarks which was interesting and then once clear of Tower Bridge , they opened up the throttle and then it was just loads of fun!!
Excellent fun. Brilliant and helpful staff.
Excellent fun and a brilliant experience
Fun experience - with some great facts too
Had a brilliant time on the Thames speeding in the water and site seeing. Would highly recommend anybody to go on this experience.
brilliant experience would do it again
Great fun music thrills vv
The staff on the day were very professional and very informative.
Fun trip but not as fast as we had expected, maybe because we were the only two people on board and my thrill-seeking Mum is 80 years old!!
Excellent service! Great trip!
Great experience , I would highly recommend
Lovely people and a great experience!
Great fun for all the family
The staff gave us water proof and very warm jackets to wear, a lift jacket and full and detailed safety instructions. They were pleasant, professional and informative but also keen that we enjoy the experience. Everything was great from the cockney accented commentary to the thrills and spills when we were able to speed up. Definitely recommend this trip.
Great indroduction and thankful for the waterproof clothing. Boat was clean and looked good. Man helped me on to the boat. Wonderful commentator telling us about the history. I love being on the water good , Enjoyed when we went fast. Would go again
Good customer service both over the phone and in person
Needs more action to get top score from me
If you have not tried this yet give it a go, its great.
The crew were very safety conscious and reassuring .A really great experience .
Fantastic from start to finish!! My son loved his thames jet experience surprise on his birthday
Highly recommend on a visit to the capital
Loved wizzing around the Thames at speed
Commentary was interesting - speed after Tower Bridge thrilling. Even my teenage boys couldn’t help smiling along with cheesy music
Delivers what it promises.
So great the bumps and weaving! The weather was great too which was a bonus! Wish we could go 40mph for the whole journey throughly recommended
Great fun for adults and easily bored children
A different, fun thing to do while in the capital. We didn’t stop smiling!
Absolutely brilliant and would recommend to all we had such a good day and would do it all again :)
This was given to me as a present & I didn't really know what to expect from the 'boat trip'. It was so much better than I expected - very exciting & exhilarating, speeding up the Thames with music thumping from speakers by my ears! Would def recommend, it was a fantastic present!
Fab experience although the staff on the boat barely acknowledged us even though we were the only ones on there! We also felt they were missing a trick by not having a camera onboard to take action shots when the boat was going fast as we would have loved a picture of our kids faces and would gladly have paid for this!
Great Fun and Thrill seeking
Great time had ..staff very friendly
Great value for money, very enjoyable.
Fun trip on the thames all staff friendly and helpful.
Fun all round, lovely staff
We arrived at the departure point and were greeted by a friendly lady who explained all the details we needed to know. It turned out we were the only passengers! I had thought we would be on a jet boat - which we have enjoyed in the past in New Zealand. But the trip was still very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our selves.
Wish it was longer as it finished really as l got into the experience
Good day out and great fun....
Very informative and enjoyable experience
Brilliant experience as part of a day out.
FANTASTIC THRIILLING RIDE. MY SECOND VISIT TO THIS EVENT AND CERTAINLY WONT BE MY LAST.
Good choice for all ages - as long as you're tall enough of course. Just be aware that even though the Thames may be as flat as a millpond, just one freak "wave" and you can be very wet - put it this way, we had an unscheduled trip to M&S for new jeans and underwear before we could go out to dinner!!! Take advantage of the waterproof trousers, not just the jacket!
Fun filled experience which started off brilliantly with the warm welcome from Phillipe. I thoroughly recommend this as a fun way to see the city from a different perspective
Exellent way to spend an hour in London
Amazing! We really enjoyed it!
The Thamesjet people are lovely friendly people who really want you to have a great experience. If you're up for a good time this is a unique day out, and you would never have seen the Thames is quite this way! For the money I'd say it's fairly good value. It made my girlfriend smile on her birthday, so it did the trick.
Well organised and a great trip
