Hop aboard your own personal Mini-Powerboat with seating for 2! From there, you are free to explore Tampa's waterways how ever you wish. Want to go North on the winding Hillsborough river? Go for it! Care for a quick trip along Bayshore Blvd or Davis Islands, getting a glimpse at some of the most impressive houses in Tampa? Don't let us stop you!

The boats are regulated to a slow speed so you can't go very fast. The best part is going by the mansions and large houses on the water.

You get 2 hours with the boat and you can go almost anywhere! You can take snacks and a cooler, too!
