Private charter speed boat rides and Thames jet boat experiences are relatively new to the Thames and a welcome change from the traditional slow moving sightseeing Thames boat hire.

Now in their second year Thames speed boat hire is no longer a new fad, but a proven exciting way to view the wonderful sights of London. Generally more popular in the spring, summer and autumn RIB speed boat charters on the Thames have grown in popularity.

Developing from the RIB speed boat rides and other general boat hire in London, earlier this summer London saw the arrival of an exciting new craft, a custom built Jet Boat.

A jet boat experience is like no other speed Thames boat hire available on the water with high speed twists, turns, spins and phenomenal acceleration the Jet Boat Experience provides passengers of all ages with a unique and exciting way to enjoy the river Thames in London.

The boat is on a design used by the Special Boat Squadron and the Royal Marines and has been custom built for operation as a passenger carrying speed boat on the Thames.

With an Aluminium hull, hard cell core foam collar and mid engine twin diesel 250 Steyr on twin Rolls Royce Kamewa jets, this is a rapid and highly manoeuvrable speed boat.

The large RIB's are still offering the traditional speed boat rides and themed adventure games such as James Bond style blasts down the river. The jet boat experience simply takes this concept of speed and manoeuvrability to a new level of raw adrenaline thrill rides.
