Patriot Jet Boat Thrill Ride

A top San Diego attraction! The Patriot Jet Boat is our salute to San Diego’s military heritage — a blend of power and patriotism, the turbo-charged Patriot is adorned with stars and stripes, red, white, and blue hues, and 2,800-horsepower engines. Celebrate your freedom to zoom across the bay at high speeds, past scenic landmarks and under the Coronado Bridge. With music pumping, your captain will perform exhilarating maneuvers, punctuated with precision stops for quick photo ops. Ponchos are provided — you will get wet! But the refreshing ocean spray, adrenaline rush and panoramic views will have you screaming for more!
