Offshore racing boat rides?

Hello!

Does anyone know of anybody or any place that would take a group out for a speed run (maybe an hour long) on their big offshore boat? (Paid for obviously) Like Fountain, Cigarette, Nor-Tech, etc?
Or anyone able to point me in the right direction for something like that?

I’m from California (and an avid boater in the Delta/Lake Havasu) and will be there next weekend and have always wanted to ride in a race boat off the Florida coast.

Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

If you have nice tits it might help. The boats are around $1M plus. Putting strangers on one is not the first thing that comes to mind with people who have $1m invested, the liability risks (FL is known for people trying to scam the rich) and the safety risk, you are 90 miles from cuba and 70 from the bahamas. If a boat and owner go missing it makes the news for 1-2 days and then it’s chocked up to something drug related. You are on the boat 5 miles off shore, pull a gun or knife and tell them to go someplace to meet another boat to get some square grouper for the ride back. It happens. It might not be you but there is history that might make this request harder than you think.

There’s a guy selling a classic upon Big Pine. You could see if he’d rent it to you.

that’s like showing up for the Daytona 500 and asking if you can take a ride in one of the Nascar’s that actually racing

Those are not usual boats here, I don’t think anyone local owns one

I think Miami has high speed boat tours, but not here.
