Our party of five (2 middle-aged adults, 3 teenagers) had a blast on the Jet Boat Ride! We were amazed by the maneuverability of the jet boat, and it was so fun to speed around the bay. You get to see all the surrounding sights while ripping around at up to 50 mph, with the occasional 360, and on-point hype music blasting. The boat crew were awesome - professional, friendly, safety-minded. Make sure you secure anything that could blow away, be prepared to get wet, and enjoy the ride. Highly recommend!

The ride itself was a total blast, but the pouring water wasn't. It's not clearly explained, but even sitting in a relatively dry zone in a poncho doesn't help much, you'll still be soaking wet. Some may enjoy it anyway, but taking this ride before driving back home for a few hrs was a questionable experience.

Sit in the back. You'll love it! Music is fun and views are great as well. Something different than your normal cruise.

Super fun! Crew members were energetic and accommodating. Boat goes faster than expected. The length of time was perfect.

Too many sailboats in the bay. The crew of the patriot were trying to find usable space to perform maneuvers but on this day there were just too many small vessels on the water. The first time we rode the patriot was much more exciting. A little disappointed this time but we will probably do it at least one more time.
