Push an F13 speedboat across San Diego Bay, then switch to a GPS-narrated iRide scooter to carve through the city. This self-drive land-and-sea combo pairs high-energy water time with easy urban exploration.

The bay opens like a moving map when you climb into an F13 mini speedboat, throttle up and head out past the breakwater. Wind cuts across the water, spray daring you forward as downtown towers and the Coronado Bridge slide sternward. Later, switching to a compact GPS-guided scooter, the city unfolds differently—marine air traded for pavement rhythm as narrated waypoints steer you through Little Italy, Balboa Park and the Gaslamp Quarter.
