The Padstow speedboats may appear a bit cheesy at first sight but this is a ride not to be missed. Incredible speed, stunning views and a good shot of adrenaline from the swerves across the estuary. You will not regret this trip!

I enjoyed these trips so much that i returned several times,and found each and every one different,and very... More

Having been on all of the speedboats at Padstow, I wish I had one myself. In my opinion JAWS is the best and has the edge on the others! They seemed sluggish and weren't as exciting as my ride with 'pirate pete' !

If you get time try a boat trip aboard the Jubilee Queen. Fantastic staff who offfer a commentary of what to look for and what not to miss . This appealed to all ages. The highlight of the trip was the glimpse of a puffin!

As 2 couples visiting Padstow for the 1st time we decided to try the speed boat trip after reading good reviews on trip advisor. Well..........£6 each.....Genteel Al ( the captain) - don't let the name lull you into a false sense of security!......its definately well worth the money ( & getting wet in some cases). Riding the waves this way... More

High speed trips from Padstow harbour. You go on a 6 mile round trip, and I guarantee you will come back with a smile on your face. I personally love getting soaking wet, its an exhillerating experience, particularly on a hot day. The drivers are all friendly and know which wave to catch to get you wet if you are... More
