Jack and the crew were brilliant! Went for a family day our celebrating my teenagers birthday. They made it really fun for us all and Jack’s energy and enthusiasm made it extra special. We all loved it! Thank you to Jack and the crew.

Did this trip for my friends birthday. Had done the shorter trip previously but this time went up to the Thames barrier. Fantastic trip with lots of thrills!! Ross and Nathan were skilled and informative crew.

Ross and Nathan were amazing. Really would recommend. My son, girlfriend and I had a really enjoyable morning.

We absolutely LOVED our trip on the Thames Rocket. Superbly piloted by Geoff and hosted by IoW Bill who delivered a masterclass narrative on the return leg. It was a totally exhilarating experience, and the London backdrop was the icing on the cake. Kudos to whoever created the music playlist because that was outstanding - listening to Clash playing London Calling while speeding along the Thames is a memory that will stay with me for a very long time. This is an experience you simply have to find time for. We would give more than 5 stars if it was possible.

Went on a 1500 sailing from the London Eye pier. The guide, Jack, was really engaging and informative. Saw all the landmarks along the river with opportunity to take photos etc and then when you get past Tower Bridge, the Captain opens the engines and whooooooooosh…….what a blast!! A really enjoyable hour or so.

Fabulous experience with the amazing Ed ( and Mark expertly sailing for extra twists and turns! ) informative and interactive info on key London landmarks up the Thames. Followed by exhilarating high speed boat ride with music. A lovely time was had by all. Ed was so good with the kids in our boat too and took a lovely photo of me and my husband at the end. Can’t wait to return - maybe do a night / sun set one next time? Highly recommended! Ed is a credit to Thames rockets!

Surprised the better half and what can I say! Exhilarating doesn’t even cover it! Bill & Nick were fantastic! Thank you!

A great experience from start to finish. We boarded at Bankside Pier (ignore the Uber people who tell you that the Rockets don't run from that pier). We were given lifejackets (which a member of staff checked we had fitted properly), boarded the boat and after a short safety notice we were off. The boats cannot go fast until they pass Tower Bridge so you have a couple of minutes of peace and quiet before the mayhem begins. We raced up to the barrier and back with music blasting and the wind in our hair and it was brilliant. The ride's pretty smooth but you do get the odd bumpy bit when you cross wake from other craft and you might get a bit wet - but you're on a river for goodness sake. I took my 9 year old daughter who loved it. Team Joey and Mark were first rate. I twice needed to contact Customer Support before our trip and on both occasions they answered the phone promptly and were very helpful.
