During our Spring Break trip to the Tampa / St. Pete area, I googled boating tours and luckily found Speed Boat Adventures. It was the perfect outing for our family of four (kids ages 7 and 4). We paired up on boats and had a blast cruising through the beautiful inter coastal areas, looking at beautiful homes, islands, and enjoying the open water. Captain Tony was a pro and we followed his lead boat for some speed "S" runs on the open water. It's great b/c he communicates via speakers in your boat and you feel completely at ease while driving your own speedboat. I highly recommend for all ages - a great alternative to being stuck on a 4 hour group cruise. Worth the money and would definitely do again!
