What to expect

You'll board a jet boat and accelerate hard across open water—this is genuinely fast and wet. Your captain steers past recognisable coastal features and points out any wildlife moving through the Broadwater. The ride lasts a full hour, so you'll cover serious distance. Expect wind noise, spray hitting your face and sudden banking turns. It's exhilarating rather than leisurely; if you prefer calm water activities, reconsider. The boat accommodates prams and wheelchairs with advance notice, though accessibility depends on individual circumstances—ring ahead to confirm.

Good to know

Wear light, quick-dry clothes; you will get wet. Leave cameras and go-pros ashore. Minimum age four years. Not suitable if pregnant, or if you have back, neck, heart conditions or spinal injuries. Secure storage available for valuables. Departure times may shift—you'll be contacted if needed.
