This is a boat trip unlike any other along the East Sussex coastline in Brighton! You’ll get to power across the waves on a Powerboat Ride that’s wild, fast and very wet - so you might want to think about taking a change of clothes. Using RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) that really hold their own out on the ocean waves, this experience has boats that are capable of rapid high speed turns with water splashing back up in your face - but it’s all part of what makes it exhilarating fun! On arrival at your departure point at Brighton Marina on the afternoon of your ride, you’ll receive an on-shore briefing and get kitted up into your life jacket and waterproof gear. Your qualified skipper will often love nothing more than to crank things up into high gear on days when the sea conditions are right - hence why these rides are done in the late afternoon when it’s a little less busier. So get ready for a fun excursion out on the water combining breakneck speeds, spectacular views and high energy!
