Mark who was our boat captain & tour guide was excellent!!! He gave us a lot of info. about the history of Tampa as we went by each location & also some great general info. on Tampa! The boat was the right size, did not have too many ppl, could travel under bridges ( due to its lower profile) and we got to see a lot in the hour & a half of our tour! It was a perfect day! My wife & our friends, all of us really enjoyed the tour & felt that we got a lot out of it! I have lived in the area for 4.5 years & still got to learn some new info! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone! Mark was very friendly, very knowledgeable & his voice was very clear over the microphone!!! We all had an awesome time! I will be bringing more of our friends on this tour!!!

Captain was knowledgeable and friendly, tour was very informative. We went at an off time and only had ~10ppl on board, which made for a very comfortable ride. Would definitely recommend for people new to the Tampa area, or Tampanians that just want to enjoy the water and learn some in depth history of Tampa,
