About this tour

Take the helm and explore Tampa’s waterways at your own pace on a 60-minute mini powerboat rental for up to two people. After a safety orientation, set out from the Tampa Riverwalk and choose where the water takes you.

This self-guided outing offers a personal way to see Tampa from the water without following a fixed sightseeing route.

For your Tampa mini powerboat rental, arrive 15 minutes early. The driver must be at least 18 and bring a government-issued ID and a credit card for a damage hold. Book your Tampa mini powerboat rental and chart your own course along the city’s waterways.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 29 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Tampa
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8.
