Worth every penny. Fantastic fun. - Captain David was our guide. Great guy. Very knowledgeable and funny man. Great to be in charge of your own boat. The trip was great fun. Well organised too. Stay safe and do exactly as he tells you and you'll be fine. If it gets a little lumpy once out in the bay, you may get a little spray over you. So don't cry. It's all part of the trip. I have very little boating experience. Mainly jet skis. But he guided me through every step safely. Do as HE does, and you won't go wrong. He's in radio contact from his boat. Telling you all about things around you and guiding you. It's brilliant. So thank you Speedboat Adventures for keeping my wife and l safe and providing a great end to our holiday in San Diego🇺🇸 Ian & Sarah from England 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great day on the bay!! - The boats were fast! Capt. David was experienced and gave us a tour of the Bay although I grew up here, He told us about stuff that I had not heard prior. Capt. Dave was perfect and showing us how to use the boats it was so easy ...we were experienced boat users but there were people there that never drove a boat before and they were able to easily drive the boat. Make sure you listen to the instructor and you'll be fine! It was a super fun family event.

Money well spent - We had such an amazing time and Captain David is an amazing guide. We loved his personality! This is the perfect blend of exhilarating and learning about the area. I can’t recommend this experience enough. This was my first time behind the wheel and it could not have been any easier. Love seeing sea lions close up and going under the elevator of the USS Midway. 10 out of 10 experience!

Fun but boat had several issues - Although it was pretty and started out as a great experience the last hour of our paid excursion our boat malfunctioned and we had to be tied to the tour guides boat to be taken back to the dock. Nothing was offered for the malfunction just well wishes and small talk. I wasn’t expecting a full refund but I was expecting something since we didn’t get the full experience.
