British Triathlon making waves with Uber Boat in London

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers has joined forces with British Triathlon as its Official London Travel Partner. According to the national governing body for triathlon, the new partnership champions sustainability, inclusivity, and healthier lifestyles.

Operating a fleet of 21 cycle-friendly vessels, including three hybrid boats, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers connects 24 piers between Putney and Barking Riverside, offering Lodon commuters and leisure travellers a fast, scenic, and sustainable way to move through the UK capital.

The partnership launches as Uber Boat by Thames Clippers prepares to expand its fleet with a sustainable fully-electric vessel, Orbit Clipper, which will create more integrated London travel links, connecting cycle routes from the North and South banks, saving time for cyclists, runners, commuters and explorers wanting to more easily move around London and the city.

Through the collaboration, British Triathlon members will enjoy exclusive offers and promotions when booking via the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers website, as well as collaborative merchandise. The new Thames Clippers Tickets app includes live ‘Where’s my Clipper?’ boat tracking and quick ticketing for seamless travel, making navigating the capital easier.

Ruth Daniels, CEO at British Triathlon said “This partnership supports our sustainability goals by providing a greener travel option for members whether they live, work, or visit London.

“With many triathletes cycling or running as part of their daily commute, the ability to integrate river bus services into their routine adds a welcome, sustainable alternative. We also value Uber Boat by Thames Clippers’ commitment to inclusivity, with all vessels and the majority of piers being fully accessible enabling people with disabilities to make sustainable choices too.”

Adrian White, Head of Marketing and Communications at Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, added “We’re thrilled to partner with British Triathlon to make greener travel even more accessible across London.

“Together, we’re showing how sustainable transport and active lifestyles go hand in hand – reducing emissions, easing congestion, and supporting healthier journeys.”
