Speed boat adventures should be rated the #1 atraction in St. Pete! I was sceptical at first thinking that this was going to be a slow boring trip. But once we got out there if was a ton of fun! Our tour guide was very polite and very entertaining. We even saw a pod of dolphins which we sat and... More

We have been to St. Pete many times over the years and lived here back in the 90's and thought we had seen it all. This tour gave us a completely different perspective and in many ways made us want to live here again. We actually have been living in the French West Indies for 8 years now and it... More

Took the tour with my college-age daughter on a Friday afternoon. We were the only customers, so we ended up with a private tour. Captain Scott made us feel welcomed and relaxed. He made sure we had the information we needed to proceed with confidence. A first, my daughter was hesitant to drive the boat but by the end she... More

We met with Chris and Captain Scott before we went out. These guys are super nice, and I felt that they really care about safety. On our way out, we saw some beautiful homes and boats. We were also fortunate enough to see dolphins. We enjoyed this so much, we will do it again on our next trip to the... More

My wife and I are a local couple and we've been on other boating tours in the Tampa Bay area, and none of them come close to the level of fun we had on our speedboat adventure. We were met by Chris who gave us a detailed explanation of how the tour operates and then gave us a thorough safety... More

We had such a great time on the water this morning on our speedboat adventure. The guys were great to deal with; very informative and personable. Capt. Tony really knows his stuff and put safety first when providing instructions and also when out on the water. Capt. Tony also has a clear love for his job and for the marine... More

We thought about renting a boat on our own or being passengers on a a big tour boat, this was the best of both and I am glad that we did it. Our guide Tony was great and very informative about the area. The boats are fast and fun, book this trip! You won't regret it! More

Such a great time. Myself and my boyfriend went there not knowing what to expect as we both had no boating experience. It was a great experience and they made it a very welcoming. Scott was a great tour guide. We saw many parts of the bay and also some dolphins which was great. Overall, it was an amazing experience... More
