Plenty of hope and loud rock music and some amazing twists and turns out in the bay. Great value for money and excellent memories

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The boat is big and colorful and so fast. I felt like I was on a roller coaster with all the fast turns. Going under the Bay Bridge was awesome. We did get wet but it was fun. We all laughed a lot for the great thrill ride.It is amazing.

I live in San Francisco and had never taken the RocketBoat until family came in town - and wow what a total blast ! Great crew great time and great deal considering tickets can be used a second time for 50 off on next trip. Thanks

excellent boat ride! I lived in the bay area for 3 years but this helps me discover the part of best experiences that I've not been to!

Hi Viator we never got to go because it was out of season they only run this boat from May to October so once again we were let down by this western by not having the correct information given to us so another couple of hundred dollars down the drain ver disappointed in Viator

So much fun. My children 10 and 15 loved it. Beware though it is very cold. Sweatshirts and sunglasses highly recommended.

The Rocket Boat was exhilarating! The speed did not disappoint. However, I wish we had covered more area. We never got close to Alcatraz or the Golden Gate Bridge. Photo opportunities were very limited.

So much fun! The music made the thrill of the ride so much more enjoyable. And the view of San Francisco skyline was beautiful.

The boat was broken and out of order but I was not informed about the same...........When I reached the counter and waited for 30 mins I came it know about it. Viator should have informed me about it. However the lady at the counter was kind enough replace it with the Bay Cruise.

Put some pedal to the metal to know the bay. Nice twist really! Best 30min ride ever. Be on time!

This ride was fun and it did not cost that much. I recommend it for anyone who is visiting to be on this ride.

Heaps of fun, be prepared to get wet! Also a great offer to have a second ride offered.

Lots of FUN!!! My 2 Grandchildren were soaked and enjoyed it very much. It was a unique experience.
Even at my age, I thought it was great and would definitely do it again.

30 thrilling minutes. We had an absolute blast. The water was quite choppy so it enhanced our trip and we came off pretty wet thanks to a couple of clever manoevres by our 'pilot/driver.' Unfortunately we were unable to take a second trip for the bargain price of $10. Highly recommend it.

This trip was a lot of fun. My 9 yr old daughter was so excited and loved the ride. The staff on board was great!
