RocketBoat

Usually, when people think about tours on the bay, they think about big multi decked ships moving at a sea cucumbers pace over the water. Leisurely, passengers move between the decks and transition from open to closed deck and vice versa. Casually, they can purchase snacks as the scenery glides by.

Now, since May 1, 2010, a new conveyance ushers in the jet age and jet boat speeds. This is RocketBoat. They offer a 30 minute thrill ride on the bay while strapped in for safety.

The boat looks like one of those offshore racing boats that were predominately shown on the 80s tv show Miami Vice. The ride may be jarring and bumpy on a calm day. I would not like to imagine how bad it might get on a not so calm day. Of course the flames make it go faster

Prices are $26 for adults
