It’s a ok boating experience, the boats are old and faded, very uncomfortable, a lot of riding in circles to kill some time. They want you to tip them 20% which is $30, kind of steep in my opinion. 3 trips makes $270 a day.

We visited St Petes recently and booked this adventure since we had never driven a speed boat before. I found it fairly easy to get accustomed to driving the speed boat really quickly. During the course of the tour, we also encountered dolphins up close, so that was great. And who doesn't like speed especially when you are in control of the throttle and the wheel. Highly recommended.

We rented two boats on Friday the 27th and had a great time. This starts with an easy tour and then the speed picks up and it was just fun. However, this can get very bumpy so I would not recommend it for anyone with back problems. Also, I am not sure that this is suitable for small children.. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, clear with instructions, and friendly. You need to have your driver's license, you don't need to have a boating license or a lot of boating experience for that matter.
