					  I’ve been really luck to have traveled the world and had some really great experiences but what should I find on my own doorstep but the Raptor a great experience... read more with great staff. ….So the Raptor is a 900 hp beast of a rib that accelerates the luck crew to plus 70 mph ! On water in truth really great fun. The professional nature of the team is great covers off safety and what’s going to happen whilst ensuring that you have the right kit I.e. self inflating life jacket and advice to not stand up and throw yourself off board . What I did like was that albeit that they do approx 5-7 trips a day we were made to feel as if it was the first time they had done it I.e. not just another bunch of people but important guests ( well done love your business model). I don’t really 2ant to tell you too much about the experience as I really don’t want to spoil it for you but I will say please do it it will be one of your life memories….p.s. hang on

					  Just spent a half hour on the raptor. What can I say. Wow! Wow! Wow! I want to go again. It's the best £40 I've ever spent. Speeding around Torbay... read more with Seb and Greg. It was a brilliant experience and smiled from start to finish. The Raptor is something really special. From booking the ride, through the safety briefing, and the ride itself was so good. The commentary from Greg was very good, and the driving from Seb really took my breath away. Lots of screaming from several passengers on board. Excellent value for money.

					  We took a sea safari trip today with a group of school friends all 10/11 years old. The weather couldn't have been better, Torquay had never looked so good. Our... read more skipper was absolutely lovely, the children were well briefed on all the safety aspects well before we got on the boat. That hour absolutely flew, it was so relaxing, peaceful and interesting. An angle of somewhere so familiar that we rarely get to see. Thank you for the most amazing experience, we will be back for certain. Highly recommend.
