Captain k went above and beyond and made this experience fantastic. I recommend this adventure. Thank you

As a first-timer behind the wheel of a speedboat, the experience was both exhilarating and a tad daunting. Steering the boat felt somewhat familiar, akin to driving a car, yet the flowing waterways and their unpredictable waves introduced a captivating challenge. Initially, the bumpiness at full throttle was overwhelming, building a sense of pressure as we navigated the lively waters. However, this initial tension quickly transformed into excitement. Gradually gaining confidence, I found myself eagerly chasing waves at full speed, reveling in the boat’s vibrations and the invigorating blast of wind. It turned into a delightful adventure, proving to be an exceptional experience for both myself and my family, full of fun and the thrill of mastering new waves.

Great way to see San Diego! Joanie, our guide did a great job and took all of the guesswork out of where to go. We went single file in small boars with 50 hp outboards and just followed the leader. Very comfortable and exciting to be on the bay in your own boat.

Great fun. Friendly Host. Loved it all! Saw lots of sea lions and birdlife as well as the chance to go fast on the boats. Seamed very safe yet had the thrill of speed!

K was a fun captain. We got to see some sites in a different way. And the boats were a lot of fun. It was an amazing time!

Exactly what is was looking for! A small, but very fast speedboat rental and a tour guide to show us around the San Diego Harbor and bay. Great tour.

Kids 9 and 12 had a blast! We were up really close with the sea lions, got super close and underneath the USS Midway. Totally awesome. The beautiful skyline and super fun speed boat experience makes it worth every penny. Our tour guide Captain David is great. Very friendly and funny. This tour is both educational and fun. Definitely recommend.
