Kraken CycleBoats

Had so much fun with the Kraken crew!!! This was the first part of our bachelorette celebrations and was a great way to kick off the trip.

Our women group was looking for something fun to do and booked a tour with Kraken. We had a fabulous time. Our captain was amazing and made sure to keep us entertained with great music. It was an amazing experience. Now I can't wait to take my family.

We booked with Kraken for a birthday party and received ample communication before the event to let us know everything that was needed. We found parking by the aquarium and taking the tram there to be the most efficient and free way to approach it and learned that we were the only group scheduled for the boat, making it a private party. Captain Kevin introduced himself and First Mate Carlos, who were an absolute blast. He let the birthday boy control the music, while Carlos helped us adjust our seats. We went over some basics, and off we went down a beautiful river ride down the Hillsborough River. We came across many other friendly parties on other boats and were given ample time to break and get drinks at the halfway point. There was no pressure on us to hurry to smoke or finish what we were doing, and both Kevin and Carlos were great additions to our celebration. Absolutely had the best time with this crew on the boat, and there was no pressure to pedal either which was nice for our lazier guests. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and night out with Kraken CycleBoats.

Tried this cycle boat for a Bachelorette party and lived every moment of it. Now, I must give the disclaimer that I joined at the halfway point because my uber was late. So do make sure you're at that 30 minutes early mark . So I didn't hear the initial safety rules but I heard from my group about the thoroughness of the instructions. Once I joined I was given a quick rundown of how the set up. I got to meet Leroy the dog and I could see why he stole everyone's heart. Melissa and Shawn were also great. I definitely have to say that captain/DJ Shawn has superb musical taste and kept us off our seats. Would I recommend this experience? Yes! Would I recommend you try it with Kraken cycle boats? Heck yes!

Kraken Cycle Boats are great for a 2 hr cruise on the Hillsborough River . Seats 10 pedalers plays music and does accept tips to not pedal! .We went for a friends birthday and it was very pleasant .It's BYOB BYOF . So it's your choice as to how intense or laid back you want be. They make a pit stop at the halfway point at the armature works and the river walk area for 30 minutes . They captain even was happy to drop us at the American Social to save us a walk. Fun way to spend a couple of hours in Tampa

My friends and I decided to check this out for a small get together on a Friday night. We booked about 2 weeks out. There was 7 of us. We all booked at different times. We had to show our completed the waiver and ID to get on. The captain was a great host. He was very polite and made sure we had a great time! He was extremely informative and super cool with about anything as long as it didn't go against the rules. We started off at the convention center went down to Armature works and back. We were on the 7pm run. They do multiples. I loved that when booking we could see how many seats were available. Not everyone had to pedal so we rotated with the other group that booked. We were a full house. You can bring food and drink just be respectful and responsible and you will have a blast! I would go back but without the pedaling lol.

This is such a fun experience. Had a bachelorette party and this was one of the activities. It rained most of the time but we had a blast! Will be doing again

Enjoyed our night cruise for my birthday. My group and another shared the 9p-11p and we really had a great time. We split the time as djs and the night views were amazing. Highly recommend!!

My friends and I had such a great time celebrating at 30th birthday. Granted I only pedaled for 15 minutes lol. I loved that there was room to move around safely. The views were great with plenty of shade on the boat.

Did a birthday for a friend, the boat driver was great and friendly it was fantastic - will be coming back - lights and seats with coolers. It's a 2 hour tour and worth it. 20/10 recommend
