THE THAMES CHALLENGE V2 -
High tech GPS technology
Exciting News from Thames RIB charter,
Part of the J M Yachting Group NEW BOATS
Following a busy & successful 2009 and in preparation for the new season we are pleased to announce that we have increased our fleet with the purchase of two further matching Ribcraft RIBs and have updated engines. This makes us the second largest RIB owning charter company in Europe. Whilst we are growing larger to cope, we will always stay small enough to care
NEW LANDING PLACES
On the Thames because of our record of working closely with the authorities rather than offending them, we are now proud to announce that we are being granted a licence to use TFL’s ‘Vee’ berths at many more locations in the Heart of the City such as Milbank, Westminster and the O2. This is in addition to the existing piers at St Katherine’s, Greenwich and Butler’s Wharf, to which other river users are restricted.
This exciting development, brought about by an exemplary record on the Thames and the regular use of the services of Thames Waterman at out events, now allows us far greater flexibility by starting, running and ending our events at locations that suit our clients
NEW Hi Tech GPS PDA Treasure Hunts
Further investing in the technology that today’s industry expects we can now provide a treasure hunt using pin point GPS systems relayed via waterproof PDA’s. The challenges will be communicated as each stage is successfully completed. Bringing fun and technology together to maximize the ‘reward’ for the day.
BEST NEWS OF ALL
WE ARE STILL THE MOST COMPETITIVE ON PRICE
Standard format of the day

Once ready we will take your group to the Ribs which will be parked outside the Lock. You will be kitted up in breathable waterproofs, introduced to your skippers and begin the days challenge. You will be hunting for a series of clues on hi-speed RIBs through the heart of the city, blasting around at speeds of up 45 mph.
Your area is split up into zones which is between Wandsworth bridge and the Thames barrier. You are competing against one another to gain the most points. Half way through your day we will stop for lunch in either a private capsule on the London Eye or desination of your choice.
Complete your day with a hi-speed blast through the heart of London to finish the tasks of the day. An amazing event - all on your own doorstep.
