Overview

Blast along the River Thames on this 20 minute TOWER RIB BLAST round-trip speedboat cruise from Tower Millennium Pier.
Once suited up, sit back and take in the view as you head along the river past the Tower of London and under Tower Bridge. Then its throttle time!
Feel the FULL throttle of the RIB's (rigid inflatable boat) 740hp twin turbo engines as you roar along the River Thames towards Canary Wharf & back to Tower in the same fashion... It's a 20 minute BLAST! Thrill in the high speeds and intense wave crashing action at full power all the way back to the Tower Pier.
Small-group trips are limited to a maximum of 12 people.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Speedboat ‘Tower RIB Blast’ from Tower Millennium Pier – 20 minutes?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
