Went on over the bank holiday. Paid £7 each for 2. Calm day. It definitely was not super fast. Don't know if it was the same firm. Rode the yellow speedboat 2017. that was definitely thrill. I have a video of it. (Took my self). This time was definitely slower, and my 10yr barely flinched. Felt a bit short changed

Brilliant experience, enjoyed every minute of it. The sea was calm so I did not get the full nature of the power boat. Next time I'll wait for the rough sea conditions 👍
