Make sure to request DAVID as your tour guide he is the BEST - From the moment we got there to the time we left the team was amazing.
David our tour guide was funny, professional and made sure that we understood how to drive the boats.
He also went above and beyond to educate us about things while still keep things light hearted and fun while making sure we were safe at all times.
David was definitely the best tour guide we have ever had for a tour and trust me we have been on a lot of tours through out the USA.

Incredible Experience - I’m usually not into extreme sports, but this was an exception. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience and our tour guide, Ben, was incredible! He was a true professional and made us feel relaxed and safe during the tour. We went out into the bay during sunset and the views were incredible. You don’t even have to have experience driving a boat. My fiancé and I had the best time and it was all thanks to Ben!

Definitely book this, awesome time!!! - We had an absolute blast with Speed Boat Adventures in San Diego! Took the kiddos out for a few hours on the water, and it was hands-down an amazing morning. The audio-guided speedboat tour was thrilling (at full speed) yet totally manageable, even for beginning boaters like us. The views of San Diego’s iconic landmarks and wildlife were stunning—seeing it all from the water gave us a whole new perspective. Our tour guide was awesome, making the experience even more fun with their energy and knowledge. Highly recommend booking this adventure!!!! You won’t regret it!!!! We liked it so much we may do it a second time on our trip!

Absolutely Five Stars!!! - This is an amazing tour for all ages! At first, I was apprehensive to try this. First of all, Iam non swimmer. Never driven a speedboat before. I came as non experience driver. Half way through I have become an expert! Its definitely must try experience specially with teen and young adults like my kids. They had a blast!

Family of three in San Diego. Kid friendly. Your guide was knowledgeable about the area. You will create memories. - Amazing experience that anyone without boating experience can do. If you know how to drive a car then you can operate the speedboat.

We rented 3 boats with 2... - We rented 3 boats with 2 family members in each. It was a little windy so we had big waves out in the bay. Be prepared to get wet from the waves crashing over the boat. We all loved it! A lot of laughs and screams when going fast. The sights were great...we got very close to sea animals and ships. Would definitely recommend!

Mixed Experience - My son and I went on the speed boat adventure. It was a nice sunny day and we were excited. Prior to getting on the boat, I asked our tour guide what I needed to do in case something malfunctioned during the tour. He said that he would be looking back constantly to ensure everything was all right and not to worry. Unfortunately, our radio stopped working after the first stop. I tried to signal to him a few times without success. Moreover, another boat in the same tour kept on zip zagging in front of us at high speed, creating a lot of unwelcomed wake. I wish the tour guide would have checked to ensure that everything was working as planned as opposed to just going as fast as he could from one stop to the next.
