Glen the tour guide was rude to me and my father and started yelling at us for no reason.I think the members should be respectful to the customers. When I paid he threw at me the receipt and said "sign there". I was really disappointed about the customer service he provided before and during the tour.

I was looking for a little adventure for our day in San Diego and this was perfect. My wife was very concerned with operating a boat(not a good driver), but after 15 minutes, so was going faster than I was. The day was perfect, but we still needed jackets as the wind picks up with the speed of the boat.... More

My wife and I did the speed boat adventure this past weekend. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. My wife had some concerns about going, but she really enjoyed it. She was worried about getting motion sick while we were out, but that didn't end up being a problem at all. She was also worried about getting wet,... More

It's really difficult for me to express how fantastic was the speed boat tour. I went there with two friends in April '13 and all of us really enjoyed the tour. Staff was great, the boats were in good condition, weather was perfect and the tour lasted about two hours full of adrenaline :) If you want to go with... More

Highly recommend ~ Best ride in San Diego. It is my favorite gift to family and friends. I've taken the tour three times for three different birthdays with friends and family. Everyone just loved it. It was great seeing beautiful San Diego from a different perspective. Each time there was something new to see. Like the Spansh Landing "San Salvador"... More

I've been out with Speedboat adventures a few times in the last year. I live in San Diego and normally like to take friends on this tour of the Harbor when they come to visit. You can normally get 2 people in each boat (under 450 LBS total) and this makes it great value for money at around $60 -... More

This is a 2 hour jaunt around the San Diego harbor on 2-person boats. You get some good views of wild life and things of note in the bay and marina. And the guides are cheerful and conscientious. But the boats are built so if you don't like being constantly sprayed in your face, the joy of sun and water... More

What a beautiful afternoon it was (March 23, 2013) when we arrived at the marina all prepared for a 2 hour (not 3hour tour) tour. The young man that was in charge for the trip was very cordial and knowledgeable about what we were getting set to do. Instructions was the first order of the day and that went without... More
