Full description
Ideal for those with a free spirit and sense of adventure, but who don't want to miss out on a guided tour, this 2-hour excursion combines the best of both worlds. You will be the captain of your own speed boat, all the while following a trained, knowledgeable guide as they keep you informed via the 2-way communication system that’s mounted in each boat. Hear the guide’s witty, yet historical narration as you cruise the harbor, seeing such luminous sights as the Russian submarine at San Diego Maritime Museum, the USS Midway and the skyline of downtown San Diego. Exhilarating and spontaneous, with laugh-out-loud moments, the thrill of driving your own boat, as well as the safety of having a skilled guide introduce you to the highlights makes for a perfect combination. Even the sea lions will give you a cheer!

Fantastic fun! Boat was in great condition - guide was courteous, knowledgable, friendly and funny. The view of San Diego from the water vantage point was wonderful. You felt like you were alone on the water with just the sound of wind going by, but being safely guided by the guide. My wife and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a super fun way to check out the bay. You get to drive your own mini speedboat. They go plenty fast. We were grinning from ear to ear. I took my finance, but I saw another couple that also brought a small child. The boat has a speaker in it and the tour guide takes you to spots and explains the history. Great value, great fun with an Adrenalin rush for the day.

Super cool dude, fun and professional. Don't forget to tip him!!! I will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks again Rob!
