The Essence of the Tour: Drive a Water Luxury Vehicle
Imagine sliding behind the wheel of a sleek, luxury JetCar designed to glide smoothly over the water.

The one-hour duration provides enough time to feel the thrill of controlling this impressive machine while taking in the sights.
What Does the Drive Feel Like?

Group and Capacity Considerations
The JetCar comfortably fits up to 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 kids under 12, with a total weight limit of 572 pounds. This makes it perfect for a small, intimate outing rather than a large group adventure. The small group size ensures personalized attention and a more relaxed atmosphere.
