๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Tampa Bay Fun Boat was very awesome experience. The Captain was very knowledgeable, he gave us history of tampa bay and the Davis Island. It was very easy to book the tickets online and it's very affordable. Kids are welcome too. It's an 1hr boat ride. We didn't see any Dolphins though:( Only thing... People often mention Tampa, tour, recommend, boat, sunset, experience, Captain, great, time, Boat,

    Tampa Bay Fun Boat was very awesome experience. The Captain was very knowledgeable, he gave us history of tampa bay and the Davis Island. It was very easy to book the tickets online and it's very affordable. Kids are welcome too. It's an 1hr boat ride. We didn't see any Dolphins though:( Only thing which was very stressful was parking. The suggested garage was closed due to some event. We had a very hard time finding another garage closer to River Walk:-(

    The Tampa Bay fun boat IS A MUST!!! For the price you will experience the best of Tampa out on the water! I cannot recommend enough the sunset tour as youโ€™ll truly get to experience Tampa in its most beautiful form! Daryl, the captain of the boat is very kind hearted and itโ€™s very clear he does this out of passion! To be honest if possible I would rate this an 11/10 for truly it is a good time and will never disappoint! Again I cannot recommend this enough and must be added to your to-do list in Tampa!

    This sunset tour was well worth the money! Crew was friendly and the sunset was amazing. Great information about Tampa area history. Family friendly and low key so if you want a drinking tour this isn't for you.

    We had an absolute blast with the fun boat team. We had a private day on the water, went to Beer Island for a few hours, took a tour of the Bay. The team was amazing. They helped us find places to organize catering for the day, provided towels for our use and a private agenda. They served as photographers, DH, tour guide and hosts. Truly such a perfect way to spend our final day of vacation. We booked this as our final day after a cruise before our flight. Highly recommend!!

    I hate to even leave this review because this is the best kept secret in Tampa! What a great time to see the fireworks! We were so fortunate to find this gem before it sold out. Our Captain was knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, professional and a great driver. I will do this again next year.

    Such a great time. I know the guide has to go over the spill with so many tours a day but it didnโ€™t feel scripted. I felt like he genuinely liked doing his job and told us so many cool things on the tour. He even turned the boat around to try and chase down a dolphin for us to see. It was such a cool experience! I highly recommend!

    Fantastic! Captain Darryl made the whole experience super enjoyable. History was shared about what we were seeing, and he was super knowledgeable about the homes we saw along the way. Canโ€™t wait to come back and bring others!

    This tour was amazing it was my first every boat ride and I was a little skeptical about doing cause I can't swim๐Ÿซฃbut the captain movement on the water was smooth and calming now my fear of boat riding has gone out the door....the booking process was also smooth,informative and priced affordablely were people who aren't rich or wealthy can have the experience of boat touring as well because others in Tampa were wayyyy to expensive in my personal opinion will definitely recommend this company and I'm definitely returning when I'm in Tampa again

    Boat location is nearby the convention center and other restaurants. On the ride, I was able to see some dolphins, take plenty of pictures, and learn about the city and beautiful houses. The hour length felt just right. I would recommend this trip to any one of my friends. Bring your own beer, a jacket, and enjoy the views! Thank you guys for an awesome time.

    Such a fun experience! The tour guide was friendly and knew so much about Tampa. I took the sunset tour and Iโ€™m glad I did because everything looked so much prettier at night. For $18, itโ€™s not a bad deal! Didnโ€™t get to see dolphins but saw other wildlife. Perfect for families and couples. You can also bring your own beverages on the boat.

    Tampa Bay Fun Boat is a must! Very affordable but not lacking in quality. Our Captain was very knowledgeable about the area and balanced information with good music. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Francisco S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great boat tour. Lots of fun and got to take amazing pictures of the sunset. My 4 year old son loved it also. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Tiff L. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed the sunset boat trip. Only thing we thought was little on-and-off was the process of taking the top off. We were right by the edge so maybe different seats since it was not chaotic. We captured great pictures throughout the boat ride, especially towards the end of the tour.

  • 5/5 Arielle E. 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the Tampa Bay Fun Boat! The boat driver is very nice and gives you a very informative and detailed synopsis of Tampaโ€™s history. Seeing the super big houses off the water was also really cool. I enjoyed it and very well worth every penny!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth 10 months ago on Google
    The tour was extremely informative and the staff were so welcoming! The staff would constantly check in on you to make sure you were content and to see if you needed anything. One of the staff members, Cory, was extremely entertaining and also gave us food/entertainment recommendations since we were vacationing in Tampa. They were very genuine!

    My teenage grandchildren and I took the sunset cruise. The captain and first mate were wonderful. Gave us some history and then let us enjoy the ride. Definitely recommend Tampa Bay Funboat

  • 5/5 arthur s. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible. Reasonably priced. I'm so happy I chose this tour. Easy parking at the convention center. Tampa is beautiful, but after sunset it's amazing. DO THIS! You won't be sorry. I will do it again.

  • 5/5 Francis N. 10 months ago on Google
    We booked a party of 30 for a private outing. The outing was wonderful. The captain and his deck hand were polite and accommodating. They asked us what we wanted to see and did a good job of explaining sites along the way. They also were helpful in taking group photos for us. We were able to play our own music through the shipโ€™s Bluetooth speakers. Everyone told us that the outing was the highlight of their weekend. The only area for improvement is the liability waiver process. The operators actually cancelled our paid reservation on the day of the event due to not having all of the waivers filled out. That was strange because they also accept liability waivers on-site. Thankfully, we were able to call them and resolve the issue. Would definitely recommend this experience.

  • 5/5 Steven A. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a great sunset cruise on the Tampa Bay Fun Boat tonight. The Captain was very knowledgeable and informative about the Tampa Bay Area. I would highly recommend going on this tour, if you are visiting the area!!!

  • 5/5 L B. 9 months ago on Google
    What a great way to celebrate a 16th birthday! Captain Dallas and JT got us to the best spot to watch the sunset and then see the beautiful lights along the Riverwalk. Easy to connect the music and great area to have the cake. The whole process was especially great working with Shannon. She was super helpful explaining everything we needed to know and do before boarding. Customer service at its best!!

  • 5/5 Andrea V. 2 years ago on Google
    Iโ€™ve lived in Tampa for over 38 years now and I was pleasantly surprised to learn all kinds of new things on this tour. It was not only educational, it was fun! The Captain did a great job and they ended the tour with some dancing, celebrating and upbeat music! Highly recommend this to anyone.
