Patriot Jet Boat Sightseeing Ride on San Diego Bay

Grab hold of a handrail and hang on as you rocket around the waters of San Diego Bay in an insanely fast jet boat. Zoom by massive battleships, scream under scenic bridges, and zip along the waterfront, shooting sea spray into the air and performing adrenaline-pumping tricks along the way.

You won’t have trouble finding the Patriot upon your arrival to the harbor. Covered in giant American flag decals, the 70-foot (21-m), turbo-charged jet boat catches lots of attention as it waits for you to jump on for a hair-raising ride around the harbor.

Climb aboard and listen to a brief introduction about the day’s tour from your experienced captain. When it’s time to head out, make sure your hat is on tight and the grip on your camera is secure as the engine revs and you launch across the dark blue waters powered by dual 1,400 horsepower engines.

Reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) while you fly under the Coronado Bay Bridge and alongside mighty Navy vessels like the USS Midway. Watch the city skyline blur during tight, controlled spins and heart-pounding turns, all set to high-energy hits blasting from the state-of-the-art sound system.

Wrap up your exhilarating excursion with a few final tricks and high-speed runs before returning the marina and finding a towel to help you dry off.
