A real blast! - This was a real highlight for our city break in London. Everyone had a blast and the crew were really helpful as I had a broken arm so was a bit tentative. Thanks to John and Dennis for a brilliant experience.

Treat to myself - Great speed, very bumpy, good music. Prefer the normal rib boat ride. Had fun speeding along the thames. Would definitely do it again though

Fab experience - The kids loved it. They say just need the bond theme louder! Nice to see the landmarks from a different angle. Weather is as perfect, so even the adults enjoyed the ride.

Fun for all the family - In the words of my grandson “Great experience and I’ve never smiled so hard for this long!” also “being splashed by the water was so cool!” the staff were top notch and the high speed turns were so fun. We’d recommend it highly for all who love a thrill filled ride along the river.

ASHER & JOHN YOUR VERY OWN JAMES BOND - This is the only way to see London. No crowds, no traffic. As a Londoner who has seen all the sights in London, this has the wow factor. With John and Asher at the helm it was fun and interesting. Oldies loved it and the kids thought it was the best day ever.

Fun Fathers day speedboat trip - Fun & exciting speedboat trip which took us all the way to the Royal Docks past Greenwich & the o2. I booked this boat because we had done a shorter trip on a smaller boat before & I was worried it would rain & thought having a roof would be useful. Staff were helpful & friendly. Great to see how London has changed from the river.

Great experience - Great experience and thrilling. Quite scary at speed bashing on the waves but pleased we had done it afterwards. Shame we couldn't hear the commentary or the James bond music.

Trip cancelled 30 mins before departure - Trip cancelled half an hour before the start. Seems to be a regular occurrence. We were given a refund but doesn’t make up for the wasted time and travel cost across London. Staff seemed annoyed that we wouldn’t just transfer to one of their other boats that they were using that day (not the Beast). Disappointing experience.
