This was an incredible experience. Captain was funny and very good. We booked the Scream I but it was out of service so we got to enjoy the Scream II. We loved it so much we went on the Scream III right after!! Highly recommend this place!

It was an absolute blast! The captain and his first mate were a crucial part in making the experience what it was! We saw a lot of ocean life! And got a thrill ride throughout the whole trip! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have fun! We stayed in PCB for a week and this was by far the best and most memorable part of our trip!

Skip the jet skis and do this jet boat tour! Did this ride with my children ( in their 20s) and we had an amazing time! The ride is very fun and exhilarating plus you get to sit back and enjoy the scenery while they do the driving. The tour guides were very friendly and even took us to see dolphins. They also gave us time to take pics and get videos. They even send you a souvenir picture of everyone on the boat to your phone. I would definitely take this ride again.
