Love this ferry, it's a great ride to Anna Maria Island and such a great price! Been on this 4-5 times already in the past few months & love the free trolley & buses around town! If you just want to see the sunset you don't have to get off of the boat, leave RW at 7 head to island for pick ups and head back ! Captain Nick is my ultimate favorite with the best first mates Traci or Charlie & I can't forget Captain Rick( but I may have gotten his name wrong)because he's super cool too! Love the boat & the workers make it even better !
