      It was fun tooling around on the water. Great views of the honeymoon and buildings. Great way to relax and enjoy the sun.

      What a great way to spend an afternoon! Boat was easy to drive and went plenty fast enough. I had an absolutely blast and would definitely do it again. Loved looking at the houses on Davis Island. The biggest one was Tom Brady's!

      I will be coming back again!
      Cons: I felt lost the whole time! It was January! And we got wet and it was COLD! Downtown parking SUCKS!
      Pros: WE SAW DOLPHINS! or was it sharks? I had the BEST TIME! The staff is SO GREAT explaining the map, the signs! How to handle the other boaters! The price is definitely reasonable! Great date idea!
      I've lived in Tampa half my life and had never been out on the Bay! Next time I do this, I am wearing sun block! Clothes to get wet in! And waiting for warmer weather!

      The overall explanation was good and fun. But getting started was really frustrating. Specifically, the website said to go to slip 16 but we couldn't find the slip. After searching for 30 minutes, we called the company and got directions. The signs showed that the slip was near number 26. The staff didn't seem to care! After getting into the small boat, the instructions were far from helpful. Once were got on the water in the Tampa harbor and Hillsborough River, we had 2 hours of fun. It was a good value.

      Fun in the sun! I had a great time zipping around town in this small craft. The boat is very small and is sits practically at sea level. The ride provides a great view of the riverwalk and the bay. I highly recommend for a unique fun, time with friends.

      We had an absolutely fabulous time! This fun little boat got us up to 20 mph and was just $55 for an hour of fun. We were able to go around Davis islands and up the river a bit. The crew was super helpful and informative. Couldn't beat this experience to be out in the bay around downtown with all the sites of River Walk, etc.

      We had an amazing time exploring the area with these fun boats. We went on Mother's Day and rented 2 boats. My wife took one of our kids and I took the other. The boats are super easy to drive. You really don't need any experience and the staff do an excellent job at orienting you. You must be 18 to rent and drive one.

      We rented the boats for 1 hour. I would definitely do 2 hours next time. You have to go slow in the immediate area and takes a bit of time to get out to the bay where you can open it up. That was super fun. We rented the 15HP boats and it was more than enough power for us. I'm sure if we rented the less powerful boats we have had just as much fun.

      We will definitely be doing this again soon. It was a lot of fun, but we want more time to explore up the Hillsborough River and spend more time speeding around the bay. You won't be disappointed.

      Was referred by a friend and it did not disappoint! Such a fun way to travel on the river for a couple hours and recommend to anyone visiting. I will certainly be doing it again!

      We were in town for a day, and I wanted to do the riverwalk (required by law to accomplish if in Tampa). BUT...didn't look forward to walking in the hot sun. I originally walked over to the waterfront to see about getting on a bigger boat, but then saw Riverwalk Boating....and HAD to check it out.

      Turns out it was easy as hell to get on the water...immediately. The wife and I hopped in, and headed out to the bay for a few minutes (primarily to check out the phenom homes). Then we turned around and headed up river, soaking in the scenery (including a high school that looks like a prison. But to be far, for students, it feels that way anyways, so why not? But I digress).

      After hitting what I felt was the half way point (from a time perspective), we turned around and headed down river. Got back to the dock with seconds to spare. We both totally enjoyed being on the water. Would have loved another 150 hp (but that's not going to happen, I know) but there's enough power to get on plane, there's GREAT things to view on the waterfront (thus the riverwalk), and it's just a bit different. Highly recommended.
