Nothing can prepare you for what you are about to feel and experience. Devastatingly fast from 0 to 100km in 2 seconds followed by extremely rapid turns that tries to pull your face off. Absolutely no time to catch your breath during a lap (there is between laps). Our 1st lap was at 70% power - the rest were at 100% - WOW. DO IT AGAIN ? - definitely
EPIC

The team at oxbow were great to deal with from start to finish. We were only supposed to have two of our party take the jet sprint boat but by the end 8 of us had been. Everyone loved it. What a great facility to hang out in while you wait too. Cheers team!

Absolutely brilliant. So much fun. All the staff were excellent too. Recommend this to everyone. We were just going to watch our son and his partner do the sprint boat and off road buggy’s, BUT after watching them do the sprint boat my husband and I looked at each other and said we gotta do this. Absolutely no regret it was fantastic.

We dropped in to take a look a couldn’t resist having a go on the Sprint jet boat. We’re glad we did as it was awesome! Not a long ride and pretty expensive but definitely worth the money. The acceleration and turning ability of the boat is unbelievable. My 14 and 16 year old daughters couldn’t get the smiles off their faces.
Unique experience for the adrenaline junkie

What a thrill! The coolest thing I’ve done in a long time. Would 100% recommend the jet sprint boats for an amazing time, I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face, everyone had a ball. The crew were super friendly and professional, the grounds were immaculate and well set up, wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy the other activities.
