    The crew here consistently earns praise for going above and beyond, with Captain Nick, Captain Brady, and crew members like Mary Beth, Brittany, and Lou frequently mentioned by name. Multiple reviewers highlight how attentive and helpful the staff is with mobility concerns—assisting older guests on and off the boat, providing steps for shorter passengers, and making accommodations for those with physical challenges or seasickness. The communication from booking through departure gets high marks, with captains even calling guests to help with directions. Both the Egmont Key trips and sunset cruises under the Skyway Bridge deliver memorable experiences. Locals especially appreciate having a well-priced alternative to boat ownership, with several saying they bring repeat visitors and family members back. The boats are described as clean, comfortable, and safe, with thoughtful touches like ice-filled coolers ready for guests' drinks and snacks. One reviewer noted a last-minute cancellation on a Friday evening when minimum bookings weren't met, which disrupted birthday plans, so you might want to confirm if you're booking something special. Overall though, the professionalism, local knowledge, and genuine hospitality make this a standout choice for getting out on the water around St. Pete.

    I searched for days for a trip like this that wasn't so far away & actually more than an hour & I found it right here in St.Pete w/The Pelican Pete! 1st Captian Lou called us to make sure we were headed in the right direction for the boat. He was the 1st 1 to greet us, he & his crew, The Captian who was @ the wheel knew his stuff..the ladies on the inside Mary Beth was nice to meet. The crew was all over the boat checking on every single person, asking if they needed anything & was getting to know everyone! I loved it! They were so welcoming & very helpful when needed. This was the best decision I made & overall this was our #1 excursion we did throughout our whole stay here. They are top notch! We will definitely be back again next year! Thanks again for a beautiful day @ sea & @ Egmont Key! This is 1 for the memories! 🤗🌊☀️💜🛥
