When Santa waves goodbye, the real adventure begins as we cruise through London, singing carols and soaking up the holiday spirit. One of Santa’s Thames Rockets helpers will keep the fun going as whilst you enjoy the sparkling sights of the season.

Then, brace yourself for the showstopping finale, as we whisk you into a high-speed Christmas medley through Canary Wharf, bringing the excitement of Santa’s sleigh to life. Feel the thrill as you zoom, glide, and fly across the docklands, leaving other boats in your festive wake.

This morning, Team Rockets took part in the Armistice Day flotilla on the River Thames, to commemorate Remembrance Day. At 11am, as Big Ben struck the hour, we joined in a two-minute silence to honour those who served. It was a true privilege to be part of this occasion. #armistice #armisticeday #remeberanceday #london #londontoday #riverthames

Our Story

The Thames Rockets vision is simple: to continue to develop, innovate and deliver our new wave of sightseeing experience in London.

Since our first sailing in April 2006 a Thames Rockets adventure has grown to become one of the most popular ways to see the capital. The formula has been crafted over years of experience to include the fastest, most comfortable speedboats, the most experienced skippers and the funniest and most personable guides in the business.

Thames Rockets believe even the most successful London attractions should have the customer experience at the heart of everything they do - so guarantee that each and every visitor will have first class personal service through every moment of their time with Thames Rockets, and certainly guarantee all the thrills and spills that have made it the #1 London attraction on TripAdvisor and winners of the 2020 Traveller’s Choice Award.
