The 50th Annual Historic Barge Race took place on the Thames last Saturday, 22 June, showcasing the skills of crews piloting 30-ton barges between Greenwich and Westminster Bridge. Participants, dressed in traditional lightermen's attire, navigated the seven-mile course using only oars and tidal currents. This milestone event not only celebrates maritime heritage but also promotes interest in river trades among younger generations.

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers also took part in the race with the Balmoral barge, with our CEO Sean Collins part of the crew. From left to right: Jamie Bell (Mate), Sean Collins (CEO), Tyler Wilcox-Metcalf (Master), Isis Kitcher (Mate) and Jamie Hannay (Master).

Congratulations to all participants for keeping this tradition alive!

Our Story

We are London’s River Bus, serving the capital for over 20 years.

Co-founded in 1999 by Sean Collins (Managing Director) and Alan Woods (former Chairman), Thames Clippers began with one boat (Storm Clipper) ferrying 80 passengers a day between Greenland (Surrey Quays) and Savoy piers. 20 years on numbers have significantly risen to over four million a year.

In 2006 AEG, owners and operators of The O2, acquired the majority stake in the company and invested significantly in our fleet. We now have a fleet of 17 high-speed catamarans and operate River Buses on a 20 minute frequency between key London piers and serve 23 piers in total.

In August 2020 ​the first branded Uber Boat by Thames Clippers set sail on the River Thames, marking the start of a partnership between Uber and Thames Clippers.
