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!

Me and my partner decided to do the 5pm tour Saturday and it was the most fun we have had in a while. Our tour guide had a great spirit and attitude! He showed us how everything worked before we set out into the water. He was also very patient with some of us when we lagged behind fighting for our lives in the waves. Haha .Everyone in our group had a great time laughing and speeding through the waves. Lots of funny moments and great memories were made .
