My son (11 years old) and I had a great time! Our tour guide was very friendly and answered all my questions before leaving the dock. I have never driven a boat before and it was very simple so if you're inexperienced, don't worry. The tour is led by a guide via a jet ski and the speedboats follow behind and follow course. Our tour consisted of two other speedboats, so three including ours. If you are considering this tour adventure, please don't be afraid to go fast!! If you go slow and don't go full throttle (as instructed), others have to slow down...it is a SPEEDboat tour. Will definitely do it again.Very much enjoyed speeding along out in the Gulf. For that reason, I was glad that this really wasn’t a tour. For whatever reason, our 2 hour outing was only 1 hour and 15 minutes- no explanation given. I was having a great time, and didn’t appreciate the early finish. Yes, the guide was very imp...
Very much enjoyed speeding along out in the Gulf. For that reason, I was glad that this really wasn’t a tour. For whatever reason, our 2 hour outing was only 1 hour and 15 minutes- no explanation given. I was having a great time, and didn’t appreciate the early finish. Yes, the guide was very impatient and quick to criticize his clientele. This is consistent with other reviewers, and seems very unwise for a business that ought to thrive from positive feedback.Very fun but make sure you know how to operate a boat. Not for the inexperienced boater. High speed as advertised, choppy water but again - very fun if you know what you are doing.

My lady and I are from the area, but love to do the tourist thing once in awhile. Definitely do this again!!

We had a good tour guide . At first it took a while for our other boaters time to increase speed . We had to go around them . And then it was amazing following our guide . Some would like to take their time . But we wanted to experience some speed and be able to see the Gulf . I highly recommend . Thought the price was FairEnjoyed the opportunity to open the boats up and speed around the bay. Took wife. Daughter and friend in another boat. Seemed a cross between a part time tour and just riding the boats. Our lead guide didn't attempt to engage any conversation. Very cold and all business until he told us 3 times...
Enjoyed the opportunity to open the boats up and speed around the bay. Took wife. Daughter and friend in another boat. Seemed a cross between a part time tour and just riding the boats. Our lead guide didn't attempt to engage any conversation. Very cold and all business until he told us 3 times that we should tip 20% or more when finished. Only part of the experience that was a turn off. Ignore that and you will have a good time.
