What Can I Expect
Are you ready to rock the Thames
Rockets? Prepare to go warp-speed right from the word go all the
way up to the Thames Barrier. These Rocket boats are pretty cool.
They're rugged and highly agile vessels that bounce along the water
with ease, at speeds of up to 35mph.
The Rockets are bright red so you can't miss them as they whizz
around the capital's main waterway, giving sightseers the big
thrill and big sights all rolled into one fab and very fun
waterborne tour.
Setting off from London Bridge City pier just beside
the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, you'll go as far as the
impressive Thames Barrier on this boat trip. To begin with, all
seems calm, as you cruise gently away from the pier, admiring the
various buildings and landmarks as you go. All very civilised and
relaxed…
...until you're in the high speed zone and then it's full throttle
for a bouncing, jostling and pure thrills trip. You'll soon see why
these boats are known as the Thames Rockets. They certainly go like
one. But the mad thing about it all is that you won't actually be
getting wet. Well, maybe a bit of spray, but nothing like soaked to
the skin that you might expect from a rocket tour like this. That's
because the boat lies pretty low in the water (and partly because
the skippers are boat driving aces!), so you get all the
scream-out-loud exhilaration, without feeling soggy at the end of
it all.
It's also worth noting that all Thames Rocket passengers on a
mission to the Thames Barrier and back will be kitted out with
stylish fleece-lined waterproof sailing jackets and buoyancy aids.
If it looks like it's going to be choppy or chilly out there, you
can also get goggles and waterproof trousers too, so a bit of
London drizzle certainly won't stop play on these tours - in fact
it makes it even more exciting.
You'll travel along the Thames just as far as the Thames Barrier,
having hooned it past the likes of Greenwich with its Cutty Sark,
the O2 and loads more besides. Going so fast on a boat on the river
is sure to make you feel like you've broken the speed barrier (and
maybe the sound barrier with your screams!) as the Thames Rocket is
pushed to its limit, all in the name of merriment and enjoyment for
you!
