Great day with friends - My wife and I took this cruise to Egmont with friends. The crew consisted of Brady, Brandon and Lauren. They were all very personal even with all of us boomers! Lol. Great sense of humor and very knowledgeable of the area. We all highly recommend this trip on the Pelican!

Excellent boat cruise with full amenities to Egmont Key from St Petersburg. - Wonderful boat cruise to Egmont Key from St. Petersburg Pier. This is a very nice, and accommodating boat with plenty of seating on the upper and lower decks, 2 bathrooms, and air conditioned indoor cabin with and bar. Very knowledgeable, and professional boat staff. The boat stayed docked and available during our time at Egmont Key, which is essential since there are no bathrooms on the island.

Day to remember! - The Pelican provided a relaxing, safe, and comfortable place to kick back, relax and enjoy the views of Tampa Bay. Exploring Egmont Key was the cherry on top of an amazing day on the water. A big thank you to the captain and crew for their hospitality! Highly recommend.
