Overview
Available languages

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.

The first time Was better

4.00Too 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.
You will get wet

5.00It was so fun! My 9 year old son loved it! And you will get wet so make sure you grab the poncho they provide. Also wear sunglasses because the speed you go you cannot open your eyes. LOL.

5.00This is the second time taking family member for a ride in the fast boat and it thrilled my two nephews (age is 9 and 14). The ride was great, fun and wet. I will suggest to anyone, adult, child or teen to take a ride in the fast boat. Thanks to the help and driver of the fast boat for a wonderful time. My nephews will always remember the ride.

1.00Stood in line for a scheduled 11:30 excursion and turned away at 11:29 due to systems on the boat not being functional. People in line with us said the same thing had happened to them yesterday. Staff was not helpful - no information regarding when the boat would be operational and didn’t want to give refunds.
