Nope, and that’s by design. The Jet Boat Ride Wenatchee is a family-safe ride that’s exhilarating without being extreme. We don’t go through whitewater rapids, and the boat’s speed is capped for comfort and safety. If you’re looking for something fun and splashy but not too intense, this is the perfect option.
Unfortunately, pets and infants are not permitted on the boat for safety reasons. Our seating is fixed, and the ride involves high-speed maneuvers. Children must be at least 6 years old, and all guests must be able to sit independently and follow safety instructions. There’s also limited storage, so strollers and bulky gear are best left behind.
Yes! We offer custom experiences for small groups including:
