What Reviewers Say

Reviewers have praised the experiences, with one calling it a "great way to see some of the city" and another describing it as "out of this world". One Tripadvisor reviewer said: "Took my two grandchildren (aged seven and nine) on the powerboat trip as part of weekend sleepover activities. They loved it and were absolutely buzzing for the rest of the day."

Another reviewer added: "Brilliant time zooming along the Clyde seeing Glasgow from a very different angle." A private hire trip to Erskine Bridge for eight people and a dog was also well received, with the extra cost for a dog at £4.99, available only for private hire.
