The speed boat tour was fun. The reason I am only giving it 2 stars is because we purchased the upgraded HP package but... that did not give us anything better. We had a faster boat but that didn't not allow us to go any faster than the slower boat in front of us. In fact, we spent a lot of time having to slow down so we wouldn't hit the boat in front of us. It just wasn't worth the money .read more

Fun experience, we had captain Dave as our guide. He gave us instruction on how to operate our boat, what to expect... from boat traffic, and how to handle right of way. We felt safe with him. We had Go Passes; booking our reservation was easy. We recommend doing this attraction.read more

We own a boat and have access to lakes, rivers and the Gulf of Mexico, so to give this review, you'll have some... context. I'm a mom and brought my teenage son and daughter. I felt safe and protected. Everything was explained very well. With that said, they didn't micromanage the fun out of the experience. We had a great time cruising the bay, seeing the wildlife up close, and getting that close on the water to a real battleship! This is well worth your time and money. Definitely glad we chose this one.read more

We went on the speed boat tour for a 9am tour. It was so much fun!! Our tour was with Dave, and he was awesome! I have... never drove a boat before so was very nervous. He helped talked me through everything we needed to do. He was very knowledgeable and made it fun. Would definitely recommend going! We saw a few sea lions while out as well!read more

My wife and I came here to celebrate our 10th anniversary! Needless to say, I was not disappointed. The boat was well... maintained and the tour guide was awesome! It was a fun little scenic tour around the Bay. You did get the opportunity to go fast on occasion but were required to match the speed of the boat in front of you, that was probably the only downside. For the most part, we had a blast! The next time we are in San Diego we will for sure do this again. My consumer rating A+read more

No complaints whatsoever. My second time booking this fun experience. The boats can have issues at times, but those... issues can easily be resolved. There's just something about getting out and so close to the water while yet still staying dry! And once those little boats get up to speed.... whoosh; "Whatta rush"!!!We Loved it! And this just another pertinent reminder of why SD IS SD!😊read more

We booked a last minute speedboat adventure in San Diego & had to pay for the upgraded boat since all the others were... rented. Let me tell you absolutely worth it!! Our boat was the fastest (said 50hp & others were 30hp) and our tour guide Captain Dave was a pleasure to lead us all through the bay. Unfortunately our radio was not hooked up properly so we missed the 1st 30 minutes of tour details & him describing what we were seeing - but we sped up next to him & he fixed it right away for us out on the water. And just so happens I met the owner Chris through a friend and he comped our goPro & gave us both free t-shirts! If you like being on the water & seeing all the sites from a different view (plus fooling around on a speed boat in open water) I would 100% book this tour! It lasted about 2 hours & I have phenomenal pictures of the San Diego downtown skyline & all the amazing places we saw. Keep up the great work guys & thanks again Chris for hooking us up!read more

The tour and the views are just so perfect, the tour guide was so funny that you actually enjoy listening to him, there was no boring moment and everyone with us had so much fun, me and my bf even switch in driving, the tour guide let us do it so we noth actually were able to experience drivingread more

The host of this tour was great. Loved him he made this experience really fun but the boat itself was pretty boring. I... thought I’d be more fun than jet ski but it really wasn’t. Just so you know before you go, ITS A TOUR ! You don’t go by yourself and if you get pretty slow people in your group don’t expect to go fast or anything. You are going to have to wait for them to catch up.read more

I planned this for my boyfriend's birthday and it was an amazing adventure. The boat is simple to drive and the... instructor/tour guide will go over everything u need to know. It was the best way to spend our day and see the Harbor in a different way. Our tour guide was very friendly and professional. Bring some cash for tip later to show them you appreciate them.This was a great thing to do during Covid since we were in our own boat and kept a distance from other groups.read more

It was great to get out on the water and visit the points of interest with a knowledgeable guide. I was worried that... this would feel like a nose-to-tail horseback trail ride. NOT-AT-ALL. So you follow in the wake of the guide. It makes no difference except to give you the confidence that you are going in the right direction. Then, when you hit a point of interest, BAM...you get all the info you need. Reminds me of a cycle tour of other cities. Very informative and out there, active participation. Totally exceeded expectations.read more

Despite the initial hilarity of watching the guide, Geronimo, save one of our party from being stuck in a perpetual... doughnut turn in their boat, the time on the water was amazing.

Overall it was worth every penny and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested.read more

Captain Scott was incredible! Really fun, funny, and knowledgeable. He was knowledgeable about the area but the water... as well. Being a boater, I was a little worried about inexperienced people being on the water but Captain Scott did a great job educating everyone on the basics of water safety and was clearly watching out on the water for other people and picking the safest areas and times to go FAST and actually have a blast!! He was the perfect “Papa Duck”.As for the tour itself, we went to several different places, got to see the USS Midway up close and personal, got to see dozens of sea lions, and our course got to drive our own personal little speed boat!!! I don’t remember if there’s options but I wouldn’t do anything less than a 2 hour tour (if it’s an option). You don’t get too wet but you are on the water, so bathing suit and appropriate over clothes and sun screen would be perfect. I wouldn’t bring anything big, there’s not a lot of room for big bags and definitely not small items that aren’t on your body (if you want to keep them in the boat). I brought my keys, a water bottle, and my phone/wallet (which second person in the boat held onto). Totally worth the money, can’t wait to go again soon!!! Thank you Scott!!!!!read more

We had a great time with our awesome guide John! He was really funny and shared a lot of great facts about San Diego.... The only things we would change is that we got a late start because some members of our tour group were late. Also we had to go slow at some points because of how some people were driving their boats. It would be neat if there could be private tours where you could actually go fast the whole trip with the guide.read more

Beware!! Scam alert!! Please be advised that the 2 hour boat ride they advertise is actually about an hour if you’re... lucky. I asked our guide why we finished in an hour and he said “ well we say two hours for you to prepare for that”. Huh?? I asked the lady at the front desk which by the way when I first came in to the office, I told her I was here for my reservation she then says, “ and do you have a question?!” Yes I do, I don’t know what to do or where to go. Thanks for your attitude. She is miserable behind her desk and you won’t get much help from her. So disappointed with this tour. It is not 2 hours, and customer service is bad bad bad.read more

What an incredible morning we had for my wife’s birthday, with our tour guide Captain Scott. Two hour tour (about 90... mins on the water) and you are in total control. Think of it like horseback riding on speedboats.On the tour you get to open it up full throttle and chop through the waves, passing Navy Vessels and the San Diego skyline. Highlights, besides the speed, was passing the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier, seeing live sea lions play in your boat wake, driving right next to and under the USS Midway, and our guide Scott.We were lucky enough to have the tour all to ourselves at 11:00am on a Monday and Scott was awesome and personal. He made us feel comfortable and capable and driving the speedboats is easy no matter your experience level. Amazing day on the water and money completely well spent!Tips: 1. You do NOT get wet so don’t worry about that, dress for weather. 2. Bring cash for a tip (Scott deserves it in these times) 3. Sunscreen on hot days there is no shade unless you count the Midway!read more
