I rode the original Thriller several times in the Bahamas aroung eleven years ago. I recommend them to everyone. Capt. Badness is a wonderful person. Probably the best that I have ever met. My best to him, Chris and Arnie from The Filly from Phillie! more

Took a Thriller powerboat ride. http://www.realthriller.com/ $30 per person before the 10% off coupon was applied and it was worth it. Coupon was found on a local map. Lasted about 1 1/2 hours, we got to drive the boat, saw dolphins, celebrity homes. Very professional and fun. Having dolphins follow the boat was amazing! We had lunch a Frenchy's South... more

We were offered a package deal to both ride the thriller boat and parasail. The parasailing is done on a separate boat. Our crew was professional and fun to ride with, and our kids loved the experience of parasailing. The Thriller ride was one fast ride!!! Bring a light jacket; because with the wind whipping you at the high speeds,... more

Although I agree that the narration was fast and difficult to follow, and no, there were no dolphins on our tour, but we were expecting that. My kids, 7 and 8, both got to drive and what a blast we all had. My husband had tried this a few years ago when he'd gone to Florida on his own, and... more

They talked about stopping and playing with the dolphins if they would find them. They found some and tried for like 2 minutes and said we are really not here to find dolphins. They promised to slow down going passed the nice homes and talk about them. Nope kept on going and they talked really fast and didnt slow down... more

My husband, 8 & 11 yr old boys and I just did theThriller Power Boat tour Saturday, July 12, 2008 and it was a blast! I knew my family wanted something more exciting than a gentle dolphin tour so this was right up their alley. This boat is like a racing boat and what an exhilarating ride! I'm surprised we... more

It was fun and exciting- however, they pushed our reservation back 3 times due to lack of passengers. They called the hotel after we already left to go there. I would just call to double check your reservation before you leave the hotel. Otherwise, it is a definite must! more

Our family of 3 (two 40+ adults & one 16 yr old girl), went to Cleawater Beach in Sept 2007. Great place to take your bicycles (or rent them when there) to ride around. We were looking for boat rides for the day, and the owner was actually there. He also owns one of the parasail boats, and crafted a... more

Our family read the reviews of the Thriller and chose to experience it on our our first day in Clearwater. It was the BEST! The boat was only 3 weeks old and evidently this is the company's 2nd boat (out of only 3 made). My husband, son(18), daughter(21) and I all got to drive (yes, there are 2 steering wheels... more

We found the Thriller boat when we were interested in going parasailing, but the winds were too high. The Thriller is a 50 Ft Catamaran speedboat commonly used in offshort racing. This one has been modified to safely seat 40 people. It has a twin turbo diesel engine that cranks out 1,000 horsepower and you can feel the power as... more
