Break the Barrier (45 mins)

Break the Barrier has secured its place undeniably on the river as the ultimate ‘all speed’ Thames river cruise.

Take to the water 21st century style as you board your own cutting edge high speed Rocket in the shadow of the Globe Theatre. Thames Rockets have always been about innovative, up-to-date and leading experiences. Break the Barrier is undoubtedly no exception.

It's all about the music as you launch into our full speed experience! Settle in and hold on tight for 45 minutes of nothing but twists and turns, of rocks and rolls through the docklands, past maritime Greenwich, round the legendary O2 arena and beyond to the mighty Thames Barrier and back - there’s something for everyone.

This London river cruise is certainly all about the ride. All with a medley of classic hits old and new blended with that little bit of rocket magic that has made us #1 on TripAdvisor for over 10 years. You’ll be singing along as you bounce across the wake. You’ll be dancing like a disco queen as we take you on a super special speedy spin.

You can experience the hippest hits and the hardest turns. For that reason Break the Barrier is the trip for those daring enough to experience what can truly be achieved on a Thames Rocket speedboat. Thanks to our custom built 880hp twin four stroke engines (and with a little help from our highly experienced skipper team) we’ll take you there… fast!

As ever our comedian guides are on hand ready to keep the banter flowing. They love nothing more than to settle you in and watch you scream with joy. Treat your loved ones (and yourself!) to the very best of all the things to do in London.

Fast, it’s furious, it’s a world first.

All new and revved up for 2023!

Break the Barrier.
