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.

Fun and relaxing experience. - Such a great experience! The boat was really easy to drive and so much fun! The scenery was beautiful by the island looking at all of the fun houses and the buildings in Tampa from the water, we even got lucky and saw dolphins! The guides were really nice and explained everything thoroughly, definitely book this for a relaxing but fun little adventure!

Exploring Tampa in mini speed boat - Brett was nice setting me up for fun solo trip. Easy to find and clean boat, the map was great, It was exciting to drive a mini speed boat and search for things to see. Seat cushion wet, no biggy, changed afterwards. Totally worth the trip.

Very fun spontaneous activity! - Very fun activity on the water in beautiful weather! We enjoyed it more than a guided boat tour due to the hands-on experience. The team handling check-ins and orientation were very efficient handling multiple small parties at the same time. One hour was an appropriate timeframe and we felt two hours would have been too much.
