The Pelican LLC

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.
