Torrevieja: Speedboat-Powered Inflatable Crazy Sofa Ride

Imagine cruising along the Torrevieja coastline on a speedboat with a huge inflatable sofa attached, laughing and holding on tight as you slice through the waves. This activity, offered at Reial Club Nàutic Torrevieja, costs about $23 per person and lasts around 30 minutes, making it a quick but memorable burst of fun. During this time, you’ll get to soar over the water on a crazy sofa that’s big enough for groups of up to eight people—perfect for families, friends, or even a fun group outing.

What we really love about this experience is how it combines the thrill of speed with silly, carefree fun. The adrenaline of being pulled behind a speedboat on such a large, bouncing inflatable creates a sense of adventure that’s more intense than a banana boat but with fewer falls—so you stay laughing without the risk of ending up in the water unexpectedly. The friendly guides, who speak English, French, and Spanish, make sure everyone remains safe while ensuring the fun stays front and center.

One thing to consider is that this activity isn’t suitable for pregnant women or anyone with health restrictions that prevent high-speed water sports, so it’s essential to check your comfort level with the fast-paced ride. Also, because it’s a short activity, it’s best suited for those looking for a lively, quick burst of fun rather than a full day’s adventure. If you’re after memorable views, shared laughter, and a splash of adrenaline, this tour hits all those marks.

This ride is ideal for families with children, groups of friends, or anyone looking to enjoy a playful, high-energy water experience in Torrevieja.
