Get ready to experience the Thames Rockets on a special Thames Late! Enjoy a 50-minute tour of the River Thames as the sun sets, providing a fun and romantic outing in the capital aboard a high-speed red rocket boat. These evening Thames Rocket rides depart from Millennium Pier, conveniently located next to the London Eye on the South Bank. This vibrant area is the perfect starting point for a sunset boat tour along the Thames. As the crowds begin to dissipate and the sun gradually sets over the iconic London skyline, you will board your speedboat. These agile and speedy rockets are open to the elements, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beautiful London sunset, with the sights and sounds of the city surrounding you. As you head towards Canary Wharf, your Rocket skipper will open up the throttle, showcasing the impressive speed of these boats. The twists and turns will be exhilarating, especially with the stunning evening backdrop of London. After your thrilling 50-minute tour, you’ll return to base and be offered a celebratory drink to toast your Thames Rocket adventure. Please note that these Thames Lates are for adults only, and you can also charter the entire boat for up to 12 guests to enjoy the night together under the stars.
