Hunter and…read moreMichael were super friendly (exchanged some killer Dad jokes lol) , answered all our questions and make the in/out docking process a breeze. They were quite generous with our rental time, and even offered us a free cooler with ice (next time!). Even though it was just the two of us, we were so thankful to have upgraded to the 8 person covered boat because it was a balmy July day and the roominess and shade were perfect. The boat navigation is incredibly simple, and both recommended routes were straightforward to navigate. Would definitely book again!

We brought pizza, sushi, champagne, decorations, and enjoyed sailing down the river with relaxing music playing in the background. There were six of us, and we booked the largest boat. It was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our setup. We never felt rushed, and the staff did a great job explaining everything before we set out. I'd do this again in a second! Perfect for birthdays, date nights, or a girls' day out.

Hidden little gem here! Saw the bar and grill advertised on Facebook and decided we should give…read morethem a try. It's kind of hidden in the back but just follow signs for the marina. We found a parking spot and seats at the bar. Great view and friendly bartender. They only have beer and wine. No liquor. Beer was cold and we ordered the grill cheese with lobster. It was yummy. Also came with lobster bisque (very good) and fish spread (one of the best I've had). Neighbors got the lobster roll. It was a little too spicy for their taste but maybe next time add some regular mayo to tone it down. We ended with the grilled lemon cake. Sooo good! Neighbors got the brownie sundae. We stole a bite. Yum yum

They told me a date that it would be done. And it was nowhere near that date. And when I called, they were rude as hell every time. They said they tested it, which was a lie because as soon as I got it on the water the steering cable was broke so I drove it back an hour for them. To tell me it was gonna cost 600 more dollars. Stay far away they are crooks

You can't get anyone to answer the phone. Imagine spending over $120,000.00 on a boat and its sitting at their facility for 5 months. We are not talking real damage, mostly cosmetic.

He explained to me exactly what had happened to our generator and gave me multiple ways to relieve the problem.

He saved us a lot of money and would highly recommend.

This is a lovely park at the end of Bayshore drive. There is a small splash pad that can entertain…read morebabies and older kids with benches surrounding the splash zone. The splash pad doesn't have a lot of shade in the summer, so be mindful of that if you're planning on sitting and watching your kids. The playground is large and has some shade covering over it. The bathrooms are close to the park area. The pavilions are available to rent for parties. Parking can be tricky because the lot is small compared to the amount of people who come here, but there's a smaller lot on the other side of the playground and there is street parking. The pier seems to be under construction after the hurricanes, but usually you can spot some dolphins from there.

There's a fantastic seafood restaurant, fishing pier, and pretty water views too! During the winter months when the sun sets early at 530-6, the park really should have lights for the playground at least until 8pm. There's not enough parking spots for this park and parking on side of road has signs that say no parking which is ridiculous because everyone parks on the side of the road anyways. If you're in the south Tampa area and looking for pretty water views, casual seafood, or a fun kids playground, definitely visit Ballast Point Park!
