Awards

Earth Clipper, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers first hybrid vessel, has won the 2024 Shippax High-Speed Ferry Award! This prestigious recognition celebrates our commitment to reducing emissions without compromising performance.

Earth Clipper operates solely on battery power while transporting commuters and sightseers through the Capital and recharges while using biofuelled power outside of central London.

Earth Clipper joined our fleet in September 2023 since then her sister vessel, Celestial Clipper, has also entered service, and Mars Clipper is getting ready for her maiden journey from the Isle of Wight.

We're proud to be recognized for advancing eco-friendly ferry solutions. 

The UKinbound Awards for Excellence reward and celebrate businesses, organisations and individuals in the inbound tourism industry and the contributions they have made to the continuing success of the sector.

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers won Transport Provider of the Year in 2023 and 2024. 

This award is open to ferry operators that run services from ports located in the UK and Ireland. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers scooped first place as a result of the introduction of a new pier at Barking Riverside, enhanced services, and operational developments. As a result of these investments in infrastructure and operational improvements, we achieved a record-breaking milestone with over 4.5 million passengers traveling with us in London in 2022.

This award is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, as well as the ongoing support of our passengers and partners. We're excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in ferry transportation, and we're committed to making a positive impact on both the environment and the communities we serve.

We have previously won the Ferry Operator of the Year accolade in 2016, 2017, and 2019.

In 2019, Sean Collins our co-founder and CEO made waves at the Everywoman in Travel Awards! Sean received the Male Agent of Change Award. The award celebrates men who have shown an active commitment to advancing the progress of women working in travel, exemplified perfectly by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers being one of the most gender-diverse workforces operating on the Thames, and indeed the global marine industry.

In 2018, the Frontline Employee of the Year Award was won by Ellie Wooldridge, Master at Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. Ellie was recognised for her real commitment to the River Bus service and she has been instrumental in allowing the business to grow. Ellie's willingness to go beyond her day job to teach, coach and mentor new staff has ensured a pool of well-trained staff ready to rise through the ranks.
