Hop on board and be the captain of your very own speedboat on this unforgettable Tampa Bay adventure tour!
Enjoy the thrill of skimming a speed boat across the crystal blue waters of Tampa Bay on this exciting sightseeing tour. There’s no experience necessary because this adventure begins with a routine safety orientation on boating basics and the rules of the water. Once you’re comfortable it’s time to hop into your F13 mini speed boat and put the throttle down.
Driving the speed boat is simple and easy. Think of it like driving a go-kart on water. From the moment you leave the docks, your adrenaline hits the roof, and it’s time to really have some fun. You’ll follow behind your expert guide, who will introduce you to the beautiful Florida coastline. Via a two-way communication system mounted in your boat, your guide will point out once-in-a-lifetime views along your 15-mile journey.
Discover beautiful National Wildlife Refuges, historic Fort De Soto Park, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and more. You may even see pods of bottlenose dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and numerous varieties of local birds and other wildlife. Keep an eye out for a 15-foot hammerhead shark the locals call Old Hitler. He has a mouth full of hooks because nobody can catch him.
This tour gives you the best of both worlds – you get the assurance of having a skilled guide lead you on your journey plus the absolute thrill of driving your own speed boat. Get ready for non-stop action from start to finish on this St. Pete and Tampa Bay Speed Boat Adventure!
