Raaaaaaptooooor!!!!! - Raptor is great fun, it feels pretty fast (71.5 mph today), gets a bit bumpy occasionally & you will get a bit wet. It's a great way to see the Bay from a different perspective. You should book it now, go on, book a ride, it's worth it 👍

Awesomeness ! - This was our second time on the rib and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were very professional and the ride was absolutely brilliant. We’ve been on other rides but nowhere near as exhilarating as this one. Cuts through the waves and very stable even doing donuts ! !

Fantastic! - Absolutely fantastic!! I want to go again lol. 900hp of engines on the back of the rib flying over the sea to different areas pointing out the history and areas of interest before power sailing at speed to the next bit. Id do it every day if I could!

Raptor ride! - If you're in Torquay and looking for something seriously exciting, look no further than the fastest passenger RIB ride with Torquay Watersports — it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on the water! From the second we arrived, the staff were absolutely fantastic. Ro and Paul were amazing — so friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made everyone feel completely comfortable, and their attention to safety while keeping the vibe fun and relaxed was spot on. You could tell we were in great hands from the start. And the ride? Wow. The RIB flies across the water! It’s fast, thrilling, and packed with sharp turns and jumps that’ll get your heart racing and your face smiling. The views of the Torbay coastline while zipping across the waves just added to the magic of it all. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just want a unique way to see the coast, this is an absolute must-do. Massive credit to Ro and Paul — your energy and professionalism made the experience unforgettable. I’ll be recommending this to everyone I know. 10/10, I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent tour - Went on a Raptor tour. It was a lot of fun with a good talk. Well worth the time if you are visiting the area. Friendly and reassuring staff and the boat is safe despite how fast it goes.
