About

A RIB boat that hits speeds most river traffic never gets close to, with sharp turns timed to send a wall of spray over the front rows right as you pass Big Ben. Waterproofs are supplied at the dock and you will want them, this is a genuinely wet ride, not a gentle cruise with a fast bit. Groups and birthday parties book it out most weekends, so a weekday morning slot is the calmer option if you want the boat closer to empty.
