My son (11 years old) and I had a great time! Our tour guide was very friendly and answered all my questions before leaving the dock. I have never driven a boat before and it was very simple so if you're inexperienced, don't worry. The tour is led by a guide via a jet ski and the speedboats follow behind and follow course. Our tour consisted of two other speedboats, so three including ours. If you are considering this tour adventure, please don't be afraid to go fast!! If you go slow and don't go full throttle (as instructed), others have to slow down...it is a SPEEDboat tour. Will definitely do it again.

Very much enjoyed speeding along out in the Gulf. For that reason, I was glad that this really wasn’t a tour. For whatever reason, our 2 hour outing was only 1 hour and 15 minutes- no explanation given. I was having a great time, and didn’t appreciate the early finish. Yes, the guide was very impatient and quick to criticize his clientele. This is consistent with other reviewers, and seems very unwise for a business that ought to thrive from positive feedback.

Very fun but make sure you know how to operate a boat. Not for the inexperienced boater. High speed as advertised, choppy water but again - very fun if you know what you are doing.
