What to expect
You'll board a turbo-charged jet boat with other thrill-seekers and immediately feel the raw power as the pilot opens the throttle across the Broadwater. Expect sharp acceleration, tight banking turns, and moments where you're barely skimming the surface. The boat sprays water constantly—you will get wet, full stop. The 55 minutes flies by as the pilot demonstrates the boat's handling through a series of scripted manoeuvres. Your legs stay planted on the deck, hands gripping the handles, as G-forces test your tolerance. It's physically demanding but straightforward; no technical skill required, just the willingness to be tossed around.
