LONDON JET BOAT
View London from a different perspective. New to the Thames in 2007 the first private charter London jet boat experience on the Thames.

This boat is currently unavailable due to annual maintenance (Autumn 09)
With an Aluminium hull, hard cell core foam collar and mid engine twin diesel 256 Steyr pushing out over 500bhp through twin Rolls Royce Kamewa jets, this is a rapid and highly manoeuvrable speed boat. Setup for acceleration it can manage 0-30 knots in 10 seconds and tops out at 40 knots, which it can manage carrying nearly 2 tons of weight!
There is seating for 8 persons in front of the engines and 12 behind.
Smooth riding, fast accelerating with a ‘deep V’ hull allowing fast tight turns, all add up to great fun…
Safety First: Lifejackets and lifesaving appliances are provided for 25 persons. The vessel is coded to MCA (Marine Coastguard Agency) Category 4 and also is a Class V passenger vessel.
Full warm and wet weather gear provided if necessary.

Birthday party for an 8 year old and his 16 friends - FANTASTIC!! We asked the skipper to go as fast as possible and do as many James Bond turns as he could and we were not disappointed! Lots of screaming, we all got wet and we laughed all the way. We gave each boy a camera and they loved taking pictures of HMS Belfast and Illustrious, the O2, Greenwich and the London Eye when we were going 'slowly'. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Going in Mid-March was possibly not the best idea as rather chilly, although we were lucky enough to have dry and relatively good weather. The boat trip was fantastic - great fun but also information as the skipper talked us through the various places of interest that we passed along the way. A fantastic event for friends or family alike - we took corporate clients and each of them had a great time. It's also a different form of entertainament away from Cricket and Football. Highly recommended!!!
