What's onboard

Wi-Fi

Thames Clippers in association with "WiFi Hotzone" has now brought WiFi onboard. The same service that has carried the airwaves of WiFi along the Thames since 2006 is now carried on the waves of the river itself! When on board with your WiFI enabled device look for the "WiFi Hotzone" network.

The first 15 minutes are free and after this just 99p per hour, with unlimited monthly hop on rates from just £14.99 to keep you connected on the move. Your onboard account will work on every pier along the Thames so whilst waiting for your ride check your mail or update your facebook status!

Food and drink

An extensive selection is available all day on the majority of the fleet. Coffee, tea and a range of breakfast munchies (bacon butties, pastries and fresh fruit) are available for the morning commuter. This menu is followed at lunchtime with a mouth watering selection of sandwiches (with fresh fillings such as chicken mayonnaise or roasted vegetables with guacamole) plus a choice of savoury snacks. For an indulgent afternoon pick-me-up there is a tempting array of classic cakes and pastries alongside the usual hot beverages. When evening approaches, the deliciously light finger food is the perfect accompaniment to a polite glass of wine, beer, champagne or something on the rocks from the bar.

Newspapers

Newspapers are available onboard.

What other benefits are there?

Our high speed catamarans are luxurious to travel on whether you are using the service for a daily commute, night out with friends, visiting galleries or on a sightseeing trip with the family. The seating areas are spacious, comfortable and climate controlled, plus all passengers are guaranteed a seat. The stunning riverside views of London's many landmarks can be appreciated from wherever you sit, so choose from individual seats in the centre of the cabin or relax in the couch area by the windows. Passengers are welcome to enjoy the deck at the back of the vessel. Onboard you will find a great ambience, helpful staff, an all day snack and refreshment menu, newspapers, toilet facilities and plasma screens. Tickets can be easily purchased onboard, on piers or online.

Seating area

Spacious, clean and comfortable. Choose from individual seats in the centre of the cabin or relax in the couch area; the stunning riverside views can be appreciated from wherever you sit. The indoor cabin is climate controlled so you will never be too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer. Passengers are also welcome to sit on the deck at the back of the vessel. Plasma screens are dotted around the inside cabin and are kept on silent.

Toilets and baby changing facilities

Vessels are equipped with toilets (including disabled facilities) for passenger use. Our 220 seat catamarans also have baby changing facilities.
