Probably would have been fun it if happened. Cancelled it and no one told us, thanks trip advisor. We found out from another guest that wasn't told either. Currently pending our money back!

Your review is on TripAdvisor's service not ours. We tell them many hours before a departure time that weather will not make a good tour. We cannot contact guest directly, but through them. And there system does not do it in a timely manor. We have tried to get them to relay the message .quickly . But they don't causing responses like yours.

Great way to navigate the bay! Especially if youā€™ve never been able to explore the city part. Iā€™m used to going to Tampa for concerts but never actually experienced the city. Great way to learn about the rich history as well as being on the beautiful water! The Captain was wonderful! Very informative and funny and we had a great first time learning about and exploring Tampa.
