The $289 option includes 4 boats. Each boat can hold up to 2 adults, so all together up to 8 people could share one Groupon. Have fun!

How fast do these boats travel and are you alays in a group or can you go off on your own?

steven b. asked 6 months, 3 days, and 12 minutes ago - 1 answer

Brette V.

The boats travel approximately 25-30 mph. Since the boats are low to the water, the experience seems much faster! A typical excursion is 3or 4 customer boats with one of our staff members in his own boat; the customers follow the instructor/staff member. You would need to stay with the group for the entire experience. Thanks!

Is there an age limit on the passenger?

Kevin asked 6 months, 2 days, 21 hours, and 57 minutes ago - 1 answer

Brette V.

They recommend that passengers are not younger than 5 or 6 years old. In the no wake zone children should be fine, but once they leave the no wake zone, it can get bumpy which maybe too much for a small child.
