    Just do it. Great people and the service is great. Relaxing. The views of the area will be remembered.

    The boats are regulated to a slow speed so you can't go very fast. The best part is going by the mansions and large houses on the water.

    Great way to acclimate yourself to Tampa!

    Pinky_Y, Apr 2025
    You get 2 hours with the boat and you can go almost anywhere! You can take snacks and a cooler, too!

    Would definitely recommend!

    So much fun for a first time Tampa experience to sightsee a bit and it was pretty romantic, nice and cool, not too hot since the water splashing you

    So fun

    It was sooooo fun! You drive your own speed and cruise on your own. Great experience! I would definitely do this again.

    Fun but Pricey

    Chaya_S, Dec 2024
    We had such a fantastic time! The views were absolutely stunning, and the calm waters added to the experience. Just a heads up, though—it can be a bit on the pricey side. But overall, it was totally worth it!

    You have to do this!

    It was an amazing date night excursion. We live in Tampa but we always look for fun date nights. This hit the spot. The weather was gorgeous and the boats are perfect! They let you go and give you a map so you won’t get lost. We were the only ones on the water so it was relaxing and easy. It’s an hour and that’s enough. We had so much fun! If you’ve never driven a boat you can do this. Very easy. Promise.

    stan_s, May 2024
    The boat is very straightforward and easy to operate we did a 2-hour tour which was plenty so you didn't have to worry about getting back on time more than enough time to enjoy the water in the sun two hours is about right
