This was our second time renting a boat from eBoats Tampa and once again we had a great time. Colin and Andrew were very helpful and professional. We had guest from out of town and were able to show off downtown Tampa and the beuatiful views from the bay. I recommend them highly - no better way to spend a few hours than out on the water.

I took the boat out with my daughter it was fun! So nice to be out on the river. It was very roomy. They guys were so friendly and helpful with a quick tutorial! I would recommend!

So much fun! Coming from someone who has a (very rational) fear of boats, this was so much fun. Andrew is the best tour guide, and we all had so much fun. Definitely going to bring my friend John back to come visit. 10/10 experience will probably be back before next month.
