This isn’t just any boat — it’s a sleek, modern craft designed with sustainability in mind, boasting carbon fiber construction and ultra-low emission V8 engines. You can expect a smooth, quiet ride, and the thrill of speed and acceleration that makes the experience exciting rather than just relaxing.

One of the standout features is the option for snorkeling — the clear waters are perfect for exploring marine life. The snorkel equipment and towels are provided, so you don’t need to bring your own, though you might want to pack a waterproof camera.

For those craving some high-tech fun, the submersible sea bob adds a playful element, letting you glide just below the surface, feeling the water rush past in a very unique way. Multiple reviews highlight how much guests enjoyed this feature, with one noting it allowed a “completely different perspective of the sea.”

During the ride, you can indulge in a fruit platter and refreshments, including wines, which are included in the package.
