London Activities
Thrill Ride on a Fast Jet boat
Price: £27.66
The Jet Boat experience is totally unique and unlike anything else available on the water in London. Jet boats have incredible maneuverability, and to take advantage of this, they leave from a more exclusive part of the River Thames, away from the crowds. To experience the jet boat thrills, they have secured access from Cadogan Pier by Albert Bridge in Chelsea and into calmer and less populated waters. In this upmarket area, you can get away from the hustle and bustle of tourist London, look at Chelsea and Kings Road with its shops, boutiques and opulence, and meet at a quiet pier where you can prepare for the jet boat experience. Then move on downstream past the Houses of Parliament and as far as Canary Wharf, in a circular trip under one hour taking in the most popular sights of London which are best viewed from the river The vessel is a thoroughbred, originally developed by the Royal Marines for use as an offshore raiding craft. With twin engines providing ample power and twin Rolls Royce Jet propulsion with an aluminium build, it is a revelation. Converted for passenger use, it has comfortable seating for up to 20 people, resulting in a remarkable and unique vessel in the UK.
