San Diego Bay Jet Boat Ride
Overview
Available languages
30 minutes
Mobile ticket
A boat ride on San Diego Bay is lovely, but an exhilarating ride on a dual-engine jet boat is an experience to remember. Zoom around the bay, enjoying views of the city skyline and Coronado Island and relishing the feel of the roaring wind. If that’s not enough thrill, 360-degree spins add to the excitement. Choose from several departure times to suit your sightseeing schedule.

5.00Looking for a thrill? This was a fun and exciting ride. However, make sure you do not eat anything heavy beforehand! Lots of ups and downs, twists and turns!
Great Views, Good Speed, Less Thrills

3.00I bought a groupon for this tour ride. I had done a similar one in hawaii and it was great....this one was okay. It's more of a speed boat than a thrill ride--which not necessarily what I expected, but I would have enjoyed that still. The music they played onboard was perfect, and the boat crew mainly were happy and friendly. What dampened my experience was misinformation, and the countless discourteous employees along the way. I called an an employee told me to park and pay $20 at the USS Midway Lot next to them, as the street parking was a max of 2 hrs and she advised not getting a ticket. Those are 2 separate things for a 30 min or even 1 hour boat ride. Both are still WAY within the 2 hour max, for a fraction of the parking cost--and can be just as CLOSE and CLOSER (and that's saying something since it's next door). Another employee told me there wasn't time for me to use the restroom, as the tour left promptly on the half hour, and it was 25 after (so 5 min). This is a bumpy speed ride, with no bathrooms on board, and the bathroom the next building up from the ticket booths. I was again told I wouldn't be able to board if I wasn't back at 30 min on the dot, because they set out promptly on the half hour. So, I opted to stay and said, if I pee on your boat in my pants, that's just what happens. The boat left at 6 minutes AFTER the 30 min. I get it to some degree, if what they said was in fact true--that they left sharply at the 30min mark....except that they didn't. I'm athletic and could have ran, used the restroom and been back probably at 30min mark, but CERTAINLY before 36. I'm not unhappy with them for wanting to leave at 30 after and being punctual; I'm unhappy because it wasn't the truth. When we pulled away from the dock, they announced, "right on schedule". [I did see a review that said this is dangerous--it is not in general, or with people in fair/good health. But if you just had surgery, is it a bad idea to go on a fast, bumpy, wet--ocean water--ride? No doubt, yes. The same considerations for an amusement park, need to be made here, but when done right, this could be a fun, thrilling, ride. It was a fun ride--though not so "thrilling"--it was pretty tame. Want to get wet? Sit in the front. Forgo the rain poncho.]
So much fun, didn’t want it to end!! Loved it!! Would do it again and again!!
