This was our third time doing this excursion. The first two times were spot on and phenomenal. Don’t know why this time was different. I did ask our tour guide why there was so much idle time and he explained that there was a lot of factors that went into the decision of the path that they decide to take at the time. Which Included wind speeds and the abilities of the driver. Which in the end told me that he decided to take a path that was a little more subdued. Which I thought was a real bummer. I was a little bit taken aback by that as we were older than your average driver but we are more than capable! The whole tour was about an hour and 45 minutes and I will say we spent probably an hour and 15 minutes in idle time.Which we definitely were not expecting and put a little bit of a damper on things. The 30 minutes that we spent actually doing the speedboat part of the tour was great. So it was fun but it sure could’ve been better!

My wife and I had a blast doing Memorial Day Weekend in St. Pete Beach. The tour guide was clear with information and we enjoyed ourselves.

I'm giving it a three star only because we got stuck behind a slow boat. They kept on speeding up then slowing down. It was supposed to be a SPEEDboat adventure but my whole focus was trying to stay 10 boat lengths behind this boat as directed. We were the last two boats and the tour guide didn't intercom in or come by to see why we were so far behind. He should have asked inexperienced drivers to be at the end of the line of boats. The guide was so far ahead of us, we couldn't see him as he left us behind. Upon return, he was very aggressive with asking, almost demanding for tips pointing to the ATM, very unprofessional. The tour wasn't terrible but I think this would have been a great experience if the guide made more attentive to the drivers.
