Itinerary
1. The only building in London today since the Great Fire of 1666 that is allowed by law a thatch roof in its construction.
2. Your on board comedian guide will make sure you are fully prepped and ready for this #1 experience. Feel the engines roar as you glide away from St Katharine Pier and straight into the high-speed zone.
3. There's plenty of photo opportunities as you see Tower Bridge from a whole new perspective. Whether it's a birthday, celebration or just a great day out you are guaranteed to make memories.
4. Suddenly the 630hp engines kick in to full throttle. Hold on tight as we propel you at 30 knots (that's 35mph!) down the most famous waterway in the world!
5. Get ready to twist and turn, whooping and cheering as we head east. Catch the sights along the way from Tower Bridge to Canary Wharf, Greenwich and beyond.
6. A quick stop at Greenwich to catch your breath. Enjoy hearing about this historic site with the beautiful backdrop of the Old Royal Naval College. A quick opportunity to adjust the hair... before it's time to take off again.
7. Bounce across the wake in this adrenaline fuelled adventure. A bespoke soundtrack will have you singing all the way with tunes from the modern day back to the 1950's - there really is something for everyone.
8. Take in the sight of the incredible Thames Flood Barrier. Pause for breath as your guide explains the details behind this feat of modern engineering. Don't get too comfy though - because it's time to turn around and fly all the way back non-stop!
