A message from Port Tampa Bay to our customers, tenants and community
Port announces the return of educational harbor tours
Port Tampa Bay’s first quarterly educational Harbor Tour since taking a hiatus was a success! Nearly 300 people took part in the free-of-charge tour, including three school groups, one of which was Jefferson High School’s Leadership Maritime students. The tour, provided in partnership with the Yacht Starship, is a complementary boat excursion to learn more about Port Tampa Bay from the waterside.
The next tour will focus on our maritime community’s Environmental stewardship and resiliency efforts. You can learn more here: https://www.porttb.com/harbor-tours
