Speed Boat Adventure of San Diego Harbor

This San Diego Bay tour isn't any ordinary speed boat tour. On this San Diego boat tour, you'll get to drive a speed boat and be your own captain! You don't need any experience or boating license for this unique San Diego speed boat tour; all you need to do is show up and be ready to take the helm. Book your San Diego tour today for an exhilarating time on the bay.

You'll be driving a 13-foot mini speed boat on this tour. Don't worry: it's very simple to drive; if you can drive a car, you can handle one of these vessels with no problems. You steer the wheel just like a car, and there's a throttle on your side with three positions: forward, neutral, and reserve. Although you'll drive your own boat, you won't be alone. For the duration of the tour, you will follow a guide on another boat. As you cruise around the bay, your guide will point out interesting landmarks, like the Coronado Bridge and the Maritime Museum, via the two-way communication systems on each vessel.

This excursion includes your F13 mini speed boat, a life jacket, bottled water, a well-trained guide, and boating instructions. Each tour covers about 13 miles of the bay and lasts around two hours. Boats are equipped with a storage compartment, but please be aware that bags can still get wet. If you're ready for some incredible views and the adrenaline rush of a lifetime, make your reservation now.

Please Note: Please select the number of individuals and type of boat requested.
