    Great way to get a different perspective on the area.

    2 hours of speed, fun, and abit of a tour as well through the 'no-wake-zone' areas...the guys did a fantastic job! If you're anywhere within a 500 mile area of this place get online and book a time to go now! If you're out of the 500 mile range...get online and then get your rears heading there way...You will not regret it...it's a blast!!

    We had an amazing day on the water.. the boats were fast enough for us, the tour was everything and then some, Derrick our guide was super nice and knowledgeable.. and most importantly patient. Thx Man! We've done the Seado thing before, and while they're fun.. these little speed boats are much more comfortable, especially if you have back issues.

    Single pontoon boat. My family of four had a great time. We will definitely be back for a longer stay!

    Love the customer service. The team is great. This our second time. We decided on the single pontoon boat! We had a blast . We went with 2 other adults. We will be back with kiddos and absolutely keep the boat the whole day!

    10/10!!!! BEST experience we have had living down in Tampa Bay so far! Our guide, Derrick, was awesome from start to finish!! Be prepared for a bumpy ride, but the thrill is exhilarating! Boats are easy to use, our guide was very informative and always willing to help if needed! I absolutely recommend this tour!!! AND DONT FORGET TO TIP YOUR GUIDES!!!!

    Had a blast on the Speed Boat Adventures. It's just like driving a go-cart is what they told us. I could agree with that. I never drove a boat before. These speed boats were super easy. Both Hubby and I got to experience driving it on water. I really wanted to fly on water, but if you want to really fly on water, get a wave runner. It will be faster. That could be subjective though, and you might find it quite fast for your comfort. I preferred riding instead of driving. With riding I could see everything around me. With driving, I was too focused on following too closely, or not driving into things, boats, people, etc. There were about 4 or 5 speed boats in our group, and we followed each other in a line. We had to maintain a certain space from each other obviously and all got to get the max speed on the boat. If the boat in front of you was not fast, you might not be able to go as fast. That would have annoyed me if that were the case. The guide was awesome and he made sure we were all comfortable, and also gave us highlights about the area through the speakers that were all in the boats... We got to see a bird sanctuary, awesome mansions on the water, nice boats, and be on the water for a few hours. It was a great experience, and if it's something you want to do, go for it. Just an FYI, you feel the bumps more as a passenger than a driver. As a driver, I always wanted to find the waves just to get that extra thrill. You don't really get very wet in these boats, at least I thought so.

    What a great experience we had at St Petersburg Speed Boat Adventures. The water was choppy as all get out on Memorial Day but the captain made us aware of it and said that being the 11am tour we would be OK. We were...it was thrilling and scary at the same time. The Captain instilled confidence in our group and we survived :) I even got air on someone's wake, but hey...that's part of driving a speed boat right? The Captain also took time to gather us up a few times during the ride and point out local sites and things that we could see from the water. It was a great tour and we would do it again! I can't wait to have more out of town guest come to FL so I can take them for another adventure!

    Hands down the best excursion in Tampa!!! 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!!!

    It was a perfect day!

    See all

    Fabulous boat - clean and comfortable! John and Jennifer are polite, friendly, and very…read moreknowledgeable about nature in the area. We found so many great shells! My kids loved feeding her pet seagull too :)

    We highly recommend this tour! We bought the 4 hour tour to Egmont Key. The buying process was…read moreeasy. Make sure everyone in your party signs their own waivers. After I bought the tickets it sent links to my email to share with everyone. The tickets can be printed or I downloaded them to my Apple wallet. The boat was easy to find with signs. I don't recommend if you have mobility issues because you will have problems entering the boat and won't be able to exit or reboard at the key bc you have to climb up and down a ladder to do so. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They did offer to help me but once I got to the top it was easier for me to crawl and pull myself up. The boat ride itself was fun and entertaining. We saw dolphins and the captain pointed out some local spots. We reached the one side of the key by the bird reserve and were allowed to snorkel and swim for about an hour. You can stand where they let us out. It was about 4' high. We reboarded and went around to the other side of the key. They let us out and gave us about another hour to explore. The lighthouse is in the middle of the area we we let out and the beach. There's picnic tables, a fort to explore. The beach is gorgeous! You can only get here by boat. Captain Tom and Tanner are fantastic and super friendly. Bring your own snacks, drinks and sandwiches etc. bring towels and suntan lotion. They provide sanitized snorkeling gear.
