The Experience
Your experience begins at Tower Millennium Pier, where you will meet your skipper and guide at the boarding point. After a quick safety briefing, you will receive a lifejacket and step on board the custom-built Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).
Once you are settled into your seat, the boat moves away from the pier and travels through the baseline speed zones, where your guide points out nearby landmarks including the Tower of London, HMS Belfast, and The Shard.
As soon as the boat clears the speed restriction barriers, the skipper accelerates down the river. You will feel the immediate pull of the twin turbo engines as the boat lifts onto the water, navigating the twists of the Thames. This fast-paced stretch of the journey takes you past the modern architecture of Canary Wharf, allowing you to experience the handling and power of a commercial-grade RIB.
After reaching the turn-around point, the skipper heads back upriver, giving you a second opportunity to see the changing London skyline from the water. The trip concludes back where it started at Tower Millennium Pier, where you will step back onto the pontoon to finish your experience.
