The Ribs can accommodate up to eight guests per boat and while the duration of the ride is flexible, most opt for a two-hour ‘blast’ through Central London and/or to the Thames Barrier and back. Participants then return to the venue for a champagne lunch.
Following a light continental breakfast, participants make the short walk to St. Katherine’s Dock, passing the moat of the Tower of London. After donning protective clothing, with breathable oilskins for warmth provided, guests will embark on a Rib for a morning of high-speed thrills zipping past some of the City’s most famous riverside buildings such as the Houses of Parliament, the Coca-Cola London Eye, The Shard, and Old Billingsgate.
The Ribs operate in even the most choppy and chilly conditions and can be seen on the river all year round.
A celebratory lunch comprising of seasonal items - such as Basil Panna Cotta to start followed by Gressingham Duck Breast as a main with Elderflower Tart for dessert - with accompanying wines and/or champagnes served by uniformed staff will be waiting the triumphant team on return to the House, rounding off the half-day on the Thames.
