About this tour

Make Tampa Bay your playground aboard a private 38-foot boat, with a licensed local captain to guide the day. This Tampa Private Boat Rental gives your group room to celebrate, unwind, or head out in search of a favorite stretch of water.

Settle onto the large sun pad, cool off in the air-conditioned cabin, and bring your own soundtrack with Bluetooth/AUX audio. A swim ladder makes it easy to get in the water, while snorkeling equipment, a refrigerator, an onboard bathroom, and a stateroom add comfort between swims and scenic views. Your captain can help shape the outing around your plans, whether that means a lively celebration, a peaceful sunset, sandbar or island exploration, or a romantic proposal. The rental accommodates up to 13 people, and captain fees are included in the advertised price; fuel is not included.

Meet at Gandy Boat Ramp in Tampa, then enjoy a day on the bay tailored to your group. Book your Tampa Private Boat Rental and make the most of your time on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3.
