Thames Power Blast

“Sheer exhilaration”….. Nothing comes close to the excitement and immediacy of a RIB. Running 8 matched boats powered by 225HP engines at speeds of up to 50mph through central London is simply an utterly stunning ‘traffic stopping’ experience.

RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boats) are usually used by the Special Forces of the World and other Police Agencies.. they are a formidable sight on The Thames. These boats are designed to be used in extreme conditions and therefore are extremely robust, stable and safe! The event is closely coordinated with the Port of London Authority and the River Police, marshaled by Thames Watermen and we always operate with both a safety boat and a paramedic.

The Thames Power Blast is a fantastic corporate event, guaranteed to impress staff and clients alike as they power down the Thames, taking in the world famous sights of London from an entirely new perspective. The event lasts approximately 1-2 hours and is therefore ideal to run either before or after a meeting, presentation or product launch. Alternatively why not combine the Thames Power Blast with our Cab Clue Trail and lunch in the London Eye to make a ‘Land, Sea and Air’ event in central London. This event would run over the course of a day and is a great team building day out in London.

“Being on the water was great fun and the guys steering it were friendly, funny and full of great facts which kept everyone entertained. Would definitely recommend.” – Phillipa Proctor

Thames Power Blast

Gather at either Embankment or London Eye Pier or any Central London Pier or by arrangement. After a comprehensive safety briefing, our fully qualified skippers will take you down to the boarding area to ‘kit up’ with oilskins and life jackets. Head into the Thames in tight Vic ‘V’ formation and prepare to power up speed of 30 knots. You will enjoy the slick formation changes as we go under bridges and between narrow gaps.

The route will take us past all the major London landmarks from the Dome to the MI5 building including high speed runs past Parliament, the London Eye, under the Millennium Bridge, under Tower Bridge etc. Once into the open River by Canary Wharf, we run at full throttle and demonstrate why Ribs are so much fun before turning and retracing our steps to the boarding point.
