Our Captain was so pleasant and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the history. Loved it all. Seeing the Davis and Hudson Island and Tampa riverwalk was worth the tour.

Wow! We loved our guide. So friendly and had lots of interesting facts no knowledge to share. We went through each of the channels, around the Davis and harbour islands, and all the way up to armature. His information also gave us some good ideas of other things to do in the area! He was very pleasant and polite- provided both cold and room-temp water for us. The seats werenā€™t comfortable, just plastic edges, but we were entertained so it wasnā€™t on our minds! It was a day in the 60s and cloudy, so if thatā€™s the weather forecast, be sure to bring blankets! It got chilly! But we made the most of it and saw so much. Highly recommend!
