I thoroughly enjoyed this speed boat tour of the beautiful harbour. Would highly recommend. Guide was outgoing and very good. Very few people in our small group had ever driven a boat before. It was my first time, and I had no issues at all. Loved speed. Reasonably priced. Decent length of time.

great fun! Did speedboat in Cancun but the 3 groups that were on the same tour time made it a very dangerous group tour. The cutting, switching drivers during full throttle was stupid. Majority of the group did not follow directions. It was fun but stressful, if someone was going to end up falling in the water in full throttle or seriously injured.

A must do activity when I San Diego if you enjoy adrenaline and site seeing. Take turn driving the speed boat. Sits up to three. We went at three and got to ride back in the sunset. Absolutely beautiful

I absolutely loved it! The tour guide was amazing — super friendly, funny, and she explained so many interesting things during the ride. We passed some really cool spots, and the overall vibe on the water was just perfect. The best part: we were even allowed to drive the boat ourselves, which was honestly so much fun and made the whole experience feel even more special. I can totally recommend it, especially if it’s sunny outside. It’s such a unique and relaxed way to see the area, and definitely one of my highlights!

This was a great experience. The boat we perfect for the experience. The guide Sierra was pleasant and patient with other groups. We were on a Nov. 11AM tour and the weather was perfect. Great to see some of the sites from a different angle.

We had such a great time on our tour! Our guide, Keoni, was fantastic - friendly, welcoming, and full of enthusiasm. He explained everything clearly, shared fantastic knowledge about the area, and kept the ride fun with his dad jokes. His energy and passion really made the experience memorable. We learned so much about the San Diego harbor and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting or living in the area!

We had the best time on our boat tour! It was super fun to drive our own boat, easy to learn, and see all the sites, sea life, and our guide Captain K was wonderful!!
