With the unseasonably good weather, we decided to get another 'Wet and Wild' fix today. This must be at least the fourth exhilarating trip on Shearwater for our family. All other boat trips pale into insignificance when you experience the sheer power of this boat in the hands of the experienced and knowledgeable crew. Love it!! The MItchell family More

Amazing trip around Ramsey on 14th Sept. Fantastic knowledgable skippers. I booked over the phone and must give a mention to the lady I spoke to as she was great. Her info and advice is vital yet given in a friendly way that bought it home! We were warned we would get wet and we did-in a good way! Saw... More

We booked the whole boat for our family to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday - what a great decision! From the moment we took off at speed into a handbrake turn, they were hooked! It was worth it just to see the reaction of our 7 and 8 year olds who declared it was better than anything at Disneyworld and... More

We decided as a mixed group of 8, mostly one family plus friends boyfriends and girlfriends that a boat ride would be an activity we could all enjoy together, in spite of my mothers absoloute dread of anything sea, boat or water related. We sat on the beach and watched the boat come in a few times before it was... More

We went to St Davids for the first time this year, mainly for sea kayaking and had already decided to take a boat trip around the islands. Fortunately we choose Venture Jet and what an experience it was! With the 440HP engine and water jet propulsion, the boat was not only amazingly fast and manouverable, but could also venture right...

I had my annual Venture Jet fix today & it was EVEN better than last year's. We went on the 'Wet & wild - with attitude' trip - can't remember how it's described in the brochure, but thoroughly recommend it. Despite it being calmest of blue sunny days, Tim, the skipper, managed to make a really exciting ride of it... More

We did an hour and half trip and enjoyed it on a really sunny day. The staff on the boat are safety conscious but also want you to have a fun and sight-seeing time. The boat is great and we probably would have marked it higher had we not done whale trips in Canada. More

Really glad you enjoyed your trip but no, for whale watching Pembrokeshire can't compete with Canada! I've had passengers telling me of whale watching in Canada on short inshore trips, whereas we have to be a bit more adventurous and head a few miles out to sea. As you saw we have plenty of wildlife to enjoy on our inshore... More

Booked on 90 min wet and wild - really enjoyed it, expert crew - sensitive to all on the boat, and informative about Ramsey/Coast/Tides/Nature. Speed and agility of the boat was brilliant, even creeping into caves. Best bits the fast and wet stuff! More

Our daughter asked if she could do this as a birthday treat as she enjoyed it so much when we did it as a family last year. We went out with a 5 year old and four 9 year olds. Nobody was disappointed. The wildlife that you see is incredible, the boat fantastically exciting and everyone friendly and very knowledgeable.... More

Thanks to your daughter for deciding to come with us again. The Family Wet and Wild is designed to give passengers the best opportunities to see the wildlife and explore the caves but also to have some fun with the jet. It's great to see young children sharing an adventure with their older siblings and parents. If we know it's... More
