Hands down the best excursion in Tampa!!!…read more Visited Speed Boat Adventures on March 25, 2019 and had a great experience cruising around the Tampa Bay, Gulf of Mexico and around the channels. We saw a lot of dolphins, manatees and expensive homes! The best part of was the view of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge! You travel approximately 20 miles on the water for over 1 hour!!! The water is pretty much smooth and barely a low chop. You don't get wet and the experience is amazing. The fee was $126 for 2 people and the owner and guide were very pleasant and accommodating. We saw the cold front coming in on Tuesday and Wednesday and thought we should do the tour a day earlier. They had no problems adjusting our reservation and getting us out on the water! The boats handled really well. You don't need to know much about driving a boat to operate these things. Pretty simple and they will explain everything to you before departing. Definitely going to do it again! Might suggest a frequent visitor card because of how much fun it was!!!

From start to finish, Captain John and First Mate Jennifer were outstanding hosts. They made everyone feel welcome and ensured passengers boarded and exited the boat safely at every stop. The tour included two stops at beautiful Egmont Key. First, we had the opportunity to snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear, warm Gulf waters. The snorkeling was fantastic, and it's easy to see why this area is known for its abundant marine life. Our second stop gave us time to explore the island's pristine beaches, nature trails, and fascinating history. Egmont Key is a true gem of the Tampa Bay area, with stunning scenery and plenty to discover. Throughout the trip, Captain John and Jennifer shared interesting facts about the island, local wildlife, and the surrounding waters. They went above and beyond to make sure we had memorable wildlife encounters. On the ride back, they helped us spot several dolphins, and we were incredibly lucky to see three manatees! Captain John carefully maneuvered the boat to a respectful and safe distance, allowing us to enjoy the rare experience of observing these gentle animals in their natural habitat. What impressed me most was the crew's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for showing guests the beauty of the Gulf Coast. After more than 15 years of leading tours to Egmont Key, they clearly know how to create a fun, safe, and unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Island Boat Adventures to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water. We can't wait to come back and do it again!
