Check out this quotation from a very satisified RocketBoat Rider!
Jason B. from San Francisco, CA said: “Oh wait, did I say boat? I meant RocketBoat!
This is no ordinary boat. Speeding around the bay at who knows how many MPH, we had an absolute blast on a perfectly brilliant day. We passed lazy ferry after lazy ferry, cheering as the water sprayed out from all sides and music blasted out of the speakers. Our fearless captain entertained us with jokes and stories, and my sis and I were very proud when he asked if anyone was local. We were the only two to raise our hands. We paused only to take in the view at the Ferry Building and Pac Bell Park, two sights I could stare at all day long.

As for the grandparents, they loved it. Grandpa was harking back to his days as a sailor and calling out the bumps when they were going to happen. I think he wanted to put his hands up like he was on a roller coaster. Grandma was, well, hanging on for dear life. Hair was a little messy afterwards, but she was smiling.

It was an experience that was anything but tacky. During one of those pauses, I looked around and couldn't help but think I love my family, I love my city, I love my life. Go Rocketboat go.”
