Nope! The only thing you need to bring with you is some form of a government ID and a credit card. A valid credit card is required at check-in for a $250 pre-authorization hold. Debit cards cannot be used for pre-authorization. Once your rental is complete, you may pay with cash, debit, or the pre-authorized credit card.
Drivers have to be at least 18 years old while passengers can be any age.
Yes! As long as it isn’t too messy or alcoholic, go for it.
The only restriction that we have is that you refrain from going into the port areas and shipping channels. Other than that, you are welcome to travel up the Hillsborough River or even out toward Hillsborough Bay as long as you stay within 500 yards of Davis Islands.
Probably not, but maybe. While we would love to guarantee your dryness on one of our fine vessels, truth be told, you are very close to the water and things such as waves from other boats and/or sea spray may get you a little wet depending on the weather.
10am till 30min before sunset. Earlier times may be available by calling (813) 641-4612
Walk-ups are always welcome, however, to guarantee that we will have a romantic boat rental available for you, it is best to book online using any of the “Book Now” buttons on our website.
No. Online booking only places a card hold — nothing is charged up front. You pay in person when you return.
