"Probably the best time I ever had at downtown definitely recommend 10 out of 10. Lots of beautiful views!"
"Boat ride was FUN! *SIT IN THE VERY BACK!* Captain recommended us to sit in the back and it was worth it. Definitely the funnest part of the boat. Felt the full whip from the sharp turns."
"The ride also offers views that you wouldn't be able to see elsewise, like the lighthouse, the mansions, the hospital and the large ships at the port of Tampa. We happened to see dolphins, as well. I went at 3:30pm and got some great, relaxing shots of the dimly lit sun on the water with the cloud coverage. So, thrilling ride which also happened to have moments of serenity when we slowed down."
"In town for a school Band trip! They were very accommodating and it was such a great ride! If you love coasters you will love this."
"It was great with the seasoned captain"
"This is the best thing to do in Tampa Bay... Such a blast"
"An absolute must if you love Tampa bay!! (& don’t mind a little sea spray while soaking up the sunset.) Very kind and accommodating staff."
"Best adventurous activity in the Tampa Bay Area. The crew is friendly and makes you feel safe the entire time even though you’re traveling 60mph. Will be back. 10/10"
"This fun-filled boat ride was such a different thing to do. The crew was super nice and the music was fun and upbeat. So comfortable, it was easy to laugh and enjoy the ride."
"Our team from Image360, my son and I had a blast! Fun ride, beautiful sunset and learned a lot about the city of Tampa! Highly recommend experiencing this new addition to the Tampa waterfront."
"What a great experience !!! I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends as a must ride to take. By the way take their advice and get the poncho because you’ll definitely need it. Awesome Awesome Awesome !!!"
"This was so much fun, beautiful and relaxing 😎The music/DJ was awesome 💽 I'll definitely do it again and if you are in Tampa this is a must do😁"
We had a BLAST on the Bay Rocket! Such a fun and exhilarating ride. Our guide and captain were both awesome and due to unforeseen circumstances, we got to ride twice today! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a thrill. Can’t wait to ride again.
Fun experience! The captain is an amazing driver. Candi, the first mate, is so fun and I like how they talked about some history of the area as we idled down the channel before starting the thrilling ride! I would recommend to anyone visiting the Tampa area
Great outing for locals and tourists. Teens and tweens will get a thrill. Bay Rocket is just downright fast fun. If you're looking for a quiet cruise to sightsee, this isn't for you. If you want to go downright fast on the water & experience fun twists and turns, with party-style music playing ... then buy a ticket and hang on tight!
Exhilarating experience. Really got the whole boat involved with good music. They had some great trivia about Tampa Bay. Would do it again.
