Communication was brilliant from start to finish, Abbie called me a few times before our trip, which was reassuring. Although the weather put us off by a day, it was worth the wait. Oliver who took us out was excellent the trip for the 5 of us was very bespoke and he took us anywhere we wanted to go along the coast, which was stunning. The Wife and all the family really enjoyed it and have said that they we should book the Raptor Rib for September when we are all back together. 

Thank you Torquay Watersports, especially Abbie & Oliver for a brilliant experience

					  WOW! We had the most exhilarating experience on the Raptor. It’s a real must do, and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. You get to see the beauty of the... read more Bay from a different angle, plus hit some incredible speeds, and a bit of donutting too! The stunning scenery of Berry Head and getting close up to the ‘resting’ cruise liners was a real treat. The team were so friendly and knowledgeable and we all felt very safe and welcome. I can’t recommend the Raptor highly enough, it’s like F1 with waves. Put this on your bucket list, you’ll be glad you did. Thank you all, we will be back.

					  My husband and I bought a boat this summer, and although we had used it a few times, we were grateful for the tuition and confidence that our trainer, Seb,... read more was able to give us. 

Because we were offered the flexibility of completing our Level 2 Powerboat on our own boat, we were able to ask boat (and berth) specific questions and really get a feel of what we were able to achieve in our own craft.

Seb was friendly, informative, and an excellent teacher. He pitched the course at our level, and was happy to answer any and all of our questions. 

We are currently looking at further training, and will not hesitate to come straight to Torquay Watersports.
