About Thames Clippers

Sean Collins co-founded Thames Clippers in 1999 with partner Alan Woods. During his career Sean recognised the opportunity to build a consistent high-speed commuter and passenger river service.

Due to Sean's management, insight and dedication Thames Clippers has grown from a one boat operation to a fleet of twelve vessels, carrying over 7000 passengers per day. In 2006 AEG Europe bought a majority stake in Thames Clippers and helped to expand the service.

In 2007 the company purchased spacious new catamarans to be used on the Thames Clippers commuter service in order to carry a large number of passengers in a comfortable environment. As Thames Clippers continues to grow, Sean’s guidance and entrepreneurial insight has brought a commuter river service operation on the Thames from a dream to fruition.
