    Review summary

    Excellent
    243 reviews•Google Maps

    Guests consistently rave about their captains here, with Captain Greg getting particular praise for his professionalism, local knowledge, and flexibility with scheduling changes due to weather. Multiple bachelorette parties specifically mention how accommodating he was with last-minute adjustments. Other captains like Matt, Erin, Ross, and Hunter also earn enthusiastic reviews for creating memorable experiences, with one guest noting how their captain made a dog feel welcome on board, even providing a floatie for the pup to rest on. The boat trips typically include stops at islands with amenities like waterslides and nearby restaurant recommendations. Groups describe feeling safe and comfortable, even those initially nervous about being on the water. A couple recent reviews mention maintenance concerns like taped seats and boats in rough condition, plus one instance where an island destination was unexpectedly closed. The pool floaties were noted as being just four noodles rather than what some expected. These seem like isolated incidents rather than patterns, but worth keeping in mind. Overall, this appears to be a solid choice for celebrations and group outings in the Tampa area.

    Had the best boat day with my girls for my bachelorette! Captain Greg was amazing and we had a blast! He took us a day early due to bad weather on the scheduled day! This worked out great! 10/10 recommend.
