					  Professional, courteous, safety 1st team who looked after us & our 12 year old on the 30min Raptor ride. WOW!! They slowly make their way out of the harbour &... read more then, when there's no longer a speed limit to adhere to, off we zoomed! Our 12 year old who is no thrill seeker & took some persuading to have a go, thoroughly enjoyed it. The skipper is very experienced & put the boat through its paces, fast acceleration, hard braking, a slow drive into the cave & reverse back out, donuts in both directions expertly done so as to spray some water onto us  71mph in a straight line up to the cruise ship, which we then circled. We all stepped off after 30 mins with big smiles. Fantastic! Do it & don't be scared!!

					  I highly recommend Torquay Watersports for any course for boating. Not only was it incredibly informative and educational, it was very fun and enjoyable. I personally completed my RYA Powerboat... read more Level 2 and feel incredibly confident driving any boat even after 2 days of learning. Seb is a fantastic instructor who is able to effectively communicate important concepts both practical and theoretical with ease. He ensures that you learn skills confidently and are able to understand the theory behind them to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding. He is incredibly experienced in both boating and teaching and it shows very quickly. It was an awesome course and I will definitely be back next year to learn more.
