We went with family and friends, rented four boats. This is a guided tour, guide uses radio to communicate with each boat as we followed him into Gulf of Mexico and around Treasure Island. Trip takes just under 2 hours w/ 10 minutes of instructions. Boats are simple to operate, no experience needed. In open water, you get to up to 30 mph in a small boat, so its fast and fun. We had one couple that may have exceeded weight capacity of boat, so they weren't able to keep up w/o rest of us waiting. Not a problem, but they were the ones who least enjoyed the experience. Everyone else thought it a blast! We found discounted certificates on Travel Zoo and thought the experience was a super value. This is an attraction will keep in mind for another adventure.
