What to expect
Expect a safety rundown before boarding, then you're into the boat and accelerating hard. The captain will carve sharp turns that lean you sideways, throttle back for tighter maneuvers, then floor it down open stretches. You'll get soaked—bring a dry bag or accept wet clothes. Wind noise is loud, conversation nearly impossible once you're moving. The ride is relentless but stops short of reckless; pilots know how to read conditions and passengers. Thirty-five minutes passes quickly when you're gripping the handles.
