Summary:
5/5 experience. I booked directly through their website for two and found the pricing was reasonable. We went on the 45 minute jet ride with Skipper Tom and he made the experience far more enjoyable. Everyone on board wanted to have lots of fun, counted down and loved the experience. I was privileged to sit at the front and it was exhilarating. Highly recommend this for all ages but those looking for fun on water.
