We were planning a side trip to Tampa on our Florida vacation and my girlfriend found Speed Boat Adventures on line. After some prodding, I finally relented and agreed to go on the speedboat tour. It was the best decision I (or she, rather) ever made! I was skeptical about really being allowed to captain our own boat and just how speedy they were, but there I was (after a brief safety course and operating procedures) skipping across Tampa Bay with the throttle wide open!!! It was a blast! Capt. Tony and crew were awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable about the sea life and landmarks around the bay. I try to visit Florida every other summer, and Speed Boat Adventures will absolutely be on my schedule from here on out.
