Boat ride fine, I expensive but what I did not appreciate was as the comment re life jackets: don’t worry they do everything you need to save even if you wanted to commit suicide. I found this a disgusting statement, that should not be said in jest!!!

I really enjoyed the boat ride . The boat is fast and the staff are very well educated . I would say it’s must when visiting the English Riviera . You can see all of the bay from the boat ride .

I would just like to say thank you, to Paul and the team. Been on three trips this year, culminating in the Rapture ride. Brilliant and exhilarating, each and every time. Paul is an amazing driver, who drove the boat with great dexterity and care. Heart stopping and breath stealing.

After our Thames RIB experience we decided to try the open sea. (I love RIBs). This was not a disappointment! The trip started with a thorough safety briefing. We then headed out for 30 mins of high speed fun. There were blasts of fast power boating with stops to enjoy wild life and the local geology. The crew were very attentive and not only gave a good commentary but made sure everyone was happy and safe. We topped speeds in excess of 70 mph at times, but remained dry. It appears to be a very well organised and safe organisation. We would certainly ride again.

Amazing experience!! Couldn’t recommend highly enough from the booking staff to the boat drivers, to the experience itself. Not to forget the unbelievable wildlife experience as we were lucky enough to see Dolphins! Most of all, were made to feel safe and valued at all times. Do not go to Torquay without experiencing one of their boat rides!

Raptor was phenomenal!!!! Absolutely loved every second of it. Right from the moment we walked down to the boat we were made to feel so welcome by Paul and Michelle, they are such great hosts. We learnt loads about the coast and the bays which was really interesting. The trip itself was brilliant! Fast, fun, breathtaking! Everything you would want from a trip like that. Would definitely do it again and I would recommend it in a heartbeat!!!
