Tampa's Premier Boat Rental Experience

ENJOY THE STUNNING FLORIDA WATERS WITH A DOWNTOWN TAMPA BOAT RENTAL!

Welcome to the Riverwalk Boating Company in downtown Tampa. We offer one of the most thrilling ways to see the city of Tampa and its beautiful waterways! Set out on a unique outdoor adventure as captain of your very own two-person mini-powerboat. No prior boating experience required as our friendly staff will teach you everything you need to know before embarking on your thrilling journey.

We also offer retro boats that were meticulously maintained and rare classic fiberglass runabout boats from the jet-age era (1958-1963). These classic boats have been made available for everyone to enjoy and take out on the beautiful waterways with a downtown Tampa boat rental. With fanciful fins and headlights, retro cool colors and chrome details, they’ve kept their vintage style but retro-fitted them with electric motors. They’re quiet and environmentally-friendly, allowing for conversation and to enjoy the fresh air and beauty of Tampa’s waterways.

WILL DO IT AGAIN!

Loved renting a boat from Riverwalk Boating! Had a fun time on 2 seater little green boat going around Davis Island and on the Hillsborough River. Highly recommend for a fun thing to do! Staff was great and whole process was easy!

IT WAS THE PERFECT WAY TO SEE DOWNTOWN TAMPA!

Stumbled across these boats while eating at the waterfront and we are glad we did! It was the perfect way to see downtown Tampa (and Tom Brady’s house 🏈). Great price for an hour! We enjoyed it so much we thought about doing it again the next day 😂 thank you!

We really enjoyed this experience. Boats were easy to navigate and provided great views of Tampa skyline. Would do it again on future trips to Tampa area.

HAD A LOVELY TIME EXPLORING THE BAY!

Emily was great and explained everything in detail (as a first time driver). I felt super comfortable driving their boats on my own. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would recommend Riverwalk Boating to anyone looking to do something fun during their stay in Tampa. A plus is that the company is close to several restaurants and bars, so can't beat the location for dinner or a cool drink after your ride. Thanks Riverwalk!
