This activity will end right where it started.
Make your own way to the San Diego waterfront to meet your jet boat for your adrenaline-fueled ride. At check-in, you are provided with a waterproof poncho and plastic bag that helps to keep your clothing and any valuables dry.

Named the Patriot, and painted with vibrant American flag imagery, your jet boat boasts 1,400-horsepower engines for a turbo-charged ride. Hold tight as your expert captain puts the high-powered ocean-going vessel into gear. Zip past the USS Midway, under the iconic Coronado Bridge and around San Diego Bay, reaching speeds of up to 40 nautical mph (64 kph). A pumping soundtrack of high-energy music plays as your boat tears through the waters of the bay. Scream with delight as your captain executes tricky maneuvers such as 360-degree spins and power slides.

During your tour, admire San Diego’s city skyline and waterfront attractions like Seaport Village, the Embarcadero, and Coronado Island, and then return to the departure point. Before leaving, check out the souvenir photos and purchase any that you like.

It was fun, will do again. Will tell others about it too. You should mention that it will get you wet in the advertisement, because we almost didn't do it as a result of the wife not wanting to get wet. She was not prepared to get wet, but ultimately decided to go and had fun.

This was our first time to San Diego and we decided on the patriot and it was definitely worth it! The captain and crew were great. The ride was absolutely awesome! The speed and the 360 turns were amazing. Definitely something we will do again before we leave. Prepare to get soaked from the waves though..lol. Pancho or not

Highly recommend this!!! I was a little apprehensive when we arrived and heard that seatbelts were necessary, but my husband encouraged me to put my fears aside. I am so glad I did because the experience was so much FUN. The music really adds to the fun and be warned, you will get soaked even with a poncho.
