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.
