Wonderful Island ferry trip! - My wife Susie and I chose the Pelican St. Pete ferry to take us to Egmont key because it left from downtown St. Pete and afforded a longer ride which took us under the skyway. Having not used this boat before, we were curious and after reviewing the site liked all the amenities that the trip offered. We were cordially greeted at the boat by Lou, Dennis and Brady. They were friendly and inviting and made us feel very welcome. The boat is clean and comfortable, with several options for seating. We chose to sit outside on the upper deck in the area of the bow as it was a beautiful breezy day. The entire experience was very relaxing and we could not have chosen a more professional crew for our trip. This is a very nice 4-Hour excursion with just enough time on Egmont Key to explore and stretch your legs. We will most certainly do this again. To the crew; thanks and see you soon! John and Susie Urban.

Spectacular views of Tampa Bay! - Phenomenal views, great service. One of my favorite activities to do with out of town friends when they visit Tampa. I have been several times and each time it is amazing. Highly recommend! Thank you Captain Bobby and Lou- you are the best!

Enjoyable Day visiting Edgemont Key - I was looking for something different to do for our anniversary and it was a fun way to spend the first half of our day. The crew of 3 were welcoming. The boat was well maintained and immaculate. They had onboard bags for shelling, equipment for snorkeling and refreshments available. Highly recommend this adventure. Dock is also close by to some wonderful restaurants following the trip.

Boat trip to Egmont Island - Trip was good-crew was super nice. They had various beverages for sell. Started on time. We are mid 50’s & 60’s….things we used on the trip: small backpack, sunscreen, *BUG SPRAY, small umbrella, water, few snacks. We moved quickly through the island bush. Took a picture of the lighthouse. I happen to hear a little noise and got to see a tortoise. We did not go into the structures because that was more mosquitoes. Picked up a few shells and swim in the water.
