Fantastic experience! - We have just had our 20 minute 'Blast' on the Thames and its the best thing we've done in London ever! Lots of speed, spray and fast turns. We even got airborne a few times. John and Justin looked after us and we felt safe at all times. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic trip, brilliant company. - Couldn’t recommend enough. My 6 year old nephew said it was his favourite thing we did in London including Hamleys! He kept asking to go back again. It felt completely safe for him. Lots of speed, music and turns. Communication from the company was brilliant. They called a couple of times the day before to confirm a few things. Sent a text to confirm who was calling when I didn’t answer. Then on the day we were at Millenium Pier but held up in the line for the Uber boat. Out trip was at 1.30 and they called at 1.17 as we hadn’t arrived to check we were on the way. Really great customer service as trip was prepaid it was our fault if we didn’t make it on time.

As we got closer to Canary Wharf we picked up speed,it was amazing.We enjoyed every minute and definitely recommend it.
