It’s really safe with secure and comfortable seats. It’s a great experience going that fast over the water. The crew were very friendly and made the ride even more fun.

Fantastic experience

Tracy_H, Aug 2024
Fantastic experience. Staff were lovely and very informative on the information given about the speed boat and the different bays. My daughter loved the feeling of going fast across the water and the donuts.

Thrill ride at its best!

Jamie_C, Aug 2024
I loved the fact that at the start of the experience I thought the boat was going fast enough but to then learn that we were going to take it to its limit blew my mind!! 73MPH across water!! Fantastic thrill ride and well organised and professional.

Great fun

The speed run and the donuts, the weather and the commentary, everything was well organised and efficient

Bummpy and thrill filled ride!

Bummpy and thrill filled memorable ride! Anything loose on you will fly away :) be careful to put away your sun glasses and anything you have on hand before the ride or anyway Paul will remind you to do so. Expect water splashes, thrilling turns, speed and bumps. Enjoy your time!

Just brilliant!!!!

We were near Torquay visiting friend for the weekend, as it was my husbands birthday i decided to book the Raptor RIB ride for us and our 2 adult children. It was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded my expectations. The speed and thrill (with slightly scary bits) combined with the confidence, safety a professionalism of the crew was a perfect mix. To see my adult kids (24 & 26) laugh like small children again was priceless! All the staff, from check in to the Captain were friendly a welcoming. A special shout to Rue who was brilliant and i am sure she will have a fantastic first season!

Exhilarating and knowledgeable half hour

Anita_C, Aug 2023
Wonderful. I came with my friend and we had the best time. The speed was incredible and it was mixed up with sight seeing, wildlife watching and a few local stories. It is obvious to see just how passionate they are about their job and the local area. Would love to experience this again very soon !!!
