The experience
You board at any pier between Putney and Barking Riverside and travel as many times as you want in a single day. The boats are high-speed catamarans with comfortable seating inside and a covered outdoor deck, so you can move between them depending on the weather and what you want to see. Frequent departures mean you rarely wait long for the next boat, and the digital River Guide available onboard tells you what's coming into view.
The real flexibility is the hop-on hop-off model: you get off at Westminster to walk past the Houses of Parliament, stay on through Tower Bridge, jump off at Greenwich to explore the Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, then catch a boat back whenever you choose. There's no schedule to follow and no guide narrating the route. You move at your own pace and decide how long to spend at each stop. Kids travel free with the Family Pass, and children under 5 always ride free, which makes it practical for families who want to break up the day without booking separate attractions.
All piers between Putney and Barking Riverside are step-free and wheelchair accessible except for Cadogan, London Bridge City and Wandsworth Riverside Quarter, where the boarding ramp can become too steep depending on the tide. Service animals are welcome, and you can bring a pram or stroller for infants. Present your printed or e-ticket to staff at any pier to board. Tickets are valid only for the day you select during booking.

Can I get off the boat and explore a stop, then catch another boat later the same day?
