MORE ABOUT OUR JET BOAT TOURS
Will I get wet?
Most of our guests stay dry. These are high performance boats but we do not do spins or other maneuvers to intentionally get everyone wet. There may be some spray or rain but the boats have canopies and we provide rain jackets if needed.

How many people will be on the boat?
We carry up to 6 passengers.

Are there bathrooms on the tour?
No, but there are facilities at our start and end point.

Do people get sea sick?
This is not very common, boating on a river is very different from boating on the ocean.
