What a fantastic tour. Having never driven a speedboat before we were a little apprehensive but it was one of the most exhilerating things we've done in a long time. Excellent safety briefing beforehand and Captain Scott was brilliant. Zooming across the huge bay was so good and we manged to encounter a pod of Dolphins who decided to entertain us by jumping out of the water alongside our boat. Can't praise it enough. Would love to do it again. A superb little enterprise and not to be missed if you're in the area. A total Buzz! Thanks to Speedboat Adventures.

It was definitelty a worthwile adventure. The crew were friendly, made us feel comfortable, quick and efficient with their service. The tour was informative and fun at the same time. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family and would love to go back as well.

My wife and I vacationed in Tampa / St Pete to celebrate our 15 yr anniversary. We wanted to do something on the water and stumbled upon Speed Boat Adventures from a flyer at our hotel. The online reservation process was flawless - I couldn't have asked for more. When we arrived we had out briefing about boating and safety with Captain Scott Simon prior to our tour. We have owned a boat for a number of years so I wasn't worried about the driving aspect but as the ad says it couldn't have been easier. I let Capt Scott brief us as if we had never boated before and even if I had never stepped foot on a boat I would have been comfortable out on the bay. The boats they use for this tour are also perfect. They are not only easy to pilot but VERY roomy, another concern I had as I'm not what you would call petite. The tour was fantastic, the boats have a two way radio so our guide (Capt Scott) could give us the guided tour of the bay with some historical references and great views of the wildlife. I'd not only recommend this for anyone wanting a couple hours on the water but I will be coming back to Speed Boat Adventures next time I'm in St Pete.
