Boat cruises are a luxurious way to relax and see the sights, unlike boarding dolphins equipped with saddles, which usually results in whiplash and water-filled lungs. Cruise the blue in comfort with today's Groupon to the Tampa Water Taxi Company. Choose between two options:

• For $40, you get a Harbor and River Cruise for two on Friday or Saturday (an $80 value).
• For $35, you get a Harbor and River Cruise for two from Sunday through Thursday (an $80 value)

Starting after sundown, aquatic adventurers can embark on a 75-minute cruise through Tampa's glittering lights, pushing off from a variety of waterfront docks. The tours run until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and until midnight during the rest of the week. Watery wanderers can nibble on light snacks and sip premium wine (if 21) while the glowing minarets of the University of Tampa pierce the night sky and soothing music puts passengers at ease. The seaworthy captain navigates the watery roads through the city, showcasing the skyline as the lights from the Tampa Museum of Art reflect off the water, warming the cockles of the coldest-blooded fish. Should the moon be emitting less heat than normal, Tampa Water Taxi will provide blankets to further ensure the comfort of all boat-goers.
