Even a novice boater can captain these vessels! I have never driven a speed boat before but with simple instructions, I became very comfortable. Admittedly though, I was still a little nervous to "punch it" full throttle, but once I did, there was no feeling more invigorating. A big thanks to all the folks at Speed Boat Adventures and a special note of thanks to our tour captain Tony. See you again next year!

I had a great experience on the Speed Boat Adventure tour last Friday. Chris and Tony are so friendly and make you feel comfortable driving the boats, even if you have never driven one before. It was very relaxing and exciting at the same time. Definitely recommend this while visiting the Tampa Bay area!

My wife surprised me with this birthday gift! We both enjoyed the tour greatly! We were on the water roughly an hour-and-a-half. Saw a large dolphin that came up rather close! The pre-tour instruction was super... very detailed. I'm sure it goes a long way with calming any novice boating fears, we certainly appreciated it as non-boat owners. Captain Tony was our guide. He pointed out landmarks, etc. (he spoke to each boat via one-way radio - each boat contains its own speaker). We recommend this adventure!
