🦇 We had a KILLER time at the Haunted River Tours Friends & Family Night! There were laughs, screams, and even howls as we braved the haunted waters… luckily we made it back to dry land without any lingering ghosts or ghouls. 👻

Now, we're gearing up for our opening weekend this Friday, October 4th, to officially kick off spooky season.

Haunted River Tours will run every weekend (Fri / Sat / Sun) throughout October, so grab your crew and get ready for some haunted fun on the Tampa Bay waters.

We’re relieved to share that the Manthey Hospitality fleet sustained no damage from Hurricane Helena. However, due to the current closure of the port's waterways, we are awaiting guidance from Port Tampa Bay and the U.S. Coast Guard before we can safely resume our operations.

As soon as we receive clearance, we’ll promptly notify you. While we are hopeful to be cruising again by tomorrow, this will depend on the official all-clear.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience. Our hearts are with everyone in the impacted communities- we hope you’re staying safe during this time.

If you have further questions regarding an existing reservation, please reach out to us at (813) 223-7999

09/25/2024

Due to the approaching hurricane and current inclement weather, we will remain closed until Saturday, September 28th.

We will continue to provide updates on our operating hours as the weekend approaches.

In the meantime, please stay safe! If you have any immediate questions regarding a reservation, please call us at (813) 223-7999 -OR- email [email protected]

We work & play on the water every day, so keeping Tampa's waterways clean is a big deal to us (and a responsibility we don’t take lightly). 🚯

This past weekend, our crew traded their pirate hooks for gloves & trash bags and joined the Hillsborough River Coastal Clean-Up with Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful! 🌊 We helped remove trash and debris from the river, doing our part to protect this beautiful place we call home.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing the river a little brighter, cleaner, and happier! So let’s support a greener, cleaner Tampa Bay! 🌿
