Speedboat 'THE THAMES BEAST' from Tower Millennium Pier - 40 mins
Overview
Are you a match for the Beast? Find out on this roaresome 40 minute high speed ride to and from Tower Pier on the biggest speedboat on the Thames, including giant scary high speed turns down to Greenwich, around the O2 Arena & through the Thames Flood Barrier.
Prick your ears for the odd rumbling growl as you step into the belly of the Beast and see the smoke before he roars away on your Tower Beast Ride.
Commentary is minimal as the focus of this trip is on the exhilaration you’ll feel at being blasted down the river on this 880hp jet-powered juggernaut, propelled by 2 Mega Monster Rolls Royce Jets.
The Thames Beast can hold up to 12 pax plus 4 crew and is available for individual tickets or private hire. Private hire enquiries can be booked online or by calling our Head Office.
