Branson Jet Boats

My wife and I live and fish on this lake and had to literally start the boat and move to avoid being hit and we were fishing the shore line

This was so awesome. We loved it. We laughed so much and of course got soaked big time. You actually go under water basically not just getting wet!

I would suggest that maybe get waterproof cameras and attach them to the boat and take pictures during the ride and then sell the pictures. Would have loved to see pictures.

A hugely fun experience on a hot summer day. Great views of the lake and lots of splashing and turns. You won't be disappointed.

This is very important! Wear a swimsuit! Do not bring purses, wallets, jewelry, glasses, or cell phones unless it's in a water proof case or it WILL get ruined. This boat is very fun, but if you are older or have back/neck problems, this ride is not for you. The force of the water is pretty extreme. I wouldn't bring any child under 8. Very fun experience! My only issue was my family didn't get to sit together but there was 5 of us.

The jet boat was very exciting and fun. I’m so glad we picked this activity, because it was fantastic!

Outstanding! A wall of water covers the first 3 rows wear swim trunks you'll be soaked head to toe. Great time! Definitely going back.

Really fun experience where it is important where you choose to sit in the boat! If you sit in the front part (the first four rows or so) there is a great chance/risk of getting an extreme amount of water on you when the captain makes a "dive". Very fun and you also got a bit of sightseeing when the boat went a little more slowly at the beginning and end of the trip.

We went on the hottest day of summer so we were lucky in that way because the ice cold water was refreshing. To get to the kiosk to obtain tickets, you have to navigate a series of multiple concrete steps up, then back down. There's nowhere to sit while you wait, and the shade is limited to another venue's overhang. We were waiting when the fuel truck came by to deliver fuel, and along with other customers, we thought maybe that was a bit much. We realize the Jet might be at the mercy of the fuel driver's time frame. Besides having nowhere to sit or get a drink while you wait, the cruise to unobstructed water takes about 15 mins each way. You get some fun spins, and some literal potential drowning moments if you're up front, so beware of where you're seated. We were hit with walls of heavy impact water which we didn't expect. The water hurts when it hits you in the face, neck, shoulders, stomach. The little kids didn't like it. I personally took in about a quart of water and spent the next few minutes gagging and choking. There's no way to avoid it if you're sitting in certain seats. One of our companions felt like she got whiplash from her neck being jerked backwards by the force of the water. It's rider, beware! Know before you get seated, that if you're up front it's going to be a high-impact, forced wall of water. You'll get drenched at the least. If it's a cool day, you're probably going to be chilly afterwards.
The boat purrs like a little kitten with a powerful engine and smooth ride. It's obvious all the money goes into the operation of the boat itself. They have lockers to leave your things in and it's gated off. The lifejackets for the kids were probably bought 25 years ago. There are lifejackets under all the seats for the adults to use should they be needed. They are sitting in water most of the time, so likely moldy - unless the owners take them out to dry after each trip.
Overall, we would recommend taking the trip, but know that there are some negatives involved in where you sit - and - that the owners of the business are placing ALL the burden on their customers by requiring them to park far away and walk (you walk back to your car dripping wet), they offer no seating or availability to purchase a drink while you wait, you have to navigate serious steps to get your tickets, and there's limited shade if it's hot. Those are the negatives.
The positives are: The Captain and his Staff, were friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The Captain and Staff, are calm and never make you feel unsafe or at risk.

Fun! Fun! Fun! And at an amazing location, too. Next time, we will be sure to come early so we can sit in the splash zones

Amazing jet boat. First 3 rows is a definite drench zone. Make sure to wear clothes that can get wet.

An absolute positive experience if u sit in 1st 4 rows.sit further back if u don't want wet.had a blast!

My husband & I went to Branson for a few days, We are from the Cincinnati Area.
This ride was absolutely great, loved it. Definitely would recommend this ride very well worth the money.
The captain is great as well, great personality and funny.

We loved Branson jet boats ride. Our family of 4 had so much fun and was full wet after the ride. We were not prepared or ready to get wet and didn’t wanted to sit in 2nd row but because of younger son we all sat in 2nd row and got soaked 3times. By the time we got dried, the captain did it again. Once in a lifetime, Go, ride & get wet, have fun. We loved the ride and “”””hold on, hold on””””. A must do in Branson. If anyone wants to sit it 1/2/3/4 row, go prepared with flip flops, swim type wear. You will enjoy.

Great experience, fast and fun maneuvers, not scary but you will get soaked sitting in the front half of the boat so wear appropriate shoes.

We spent our little girl’s 1st 4th of July here and it is such a fantastic place u must visit in Branson.

Would not recommend this boat whatsoever. Absolutely destroying all the docks on tanney, as well as the boats that are in the slip. This boat needs GONE. I have a dock down there to prove all the damage that this boat is doing. They do not respect any one the water nor the dock owners.

So much fun, worth the time and money! Plan on getting soaked if you’re in the first 4-5 rows! It is a jet boat, and that is the point! This is the second jet boat we have experienced, & it is always worth it!

Best boat ride ever, but leave you belongings especially cell phones if you sit in the first three rows. You get soaked. The caption of the boat was amazing! Loved this was my favorite thing we did while in Branson!
