We’ve done several different sunset cruises and this was one of the best! The crew was super friendly and hospitable, the boat was well kept, and the cruise itself was smooth and comfortable. We brought our own snacks and purchased wine and beer at the bar, which worked out perfectly! This experience (and value for the experience!) was so great we talked about re-booking another sunset cruise with Pelican almost as soon as we reached the dock! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Captain Dennis and crew ladies were professional, informative and friendly. They asked if it was a special day we mentioned it was our 19th wedding anniversary. He shouted us out and everyone on the boat clapped and congratulated us. Made our day even more special. It was the perfect way to end our special day. Seeing the sunset and the Sky Bridge light up was a nice experience. We highly recommend them.

We had a great time on the sunset cruise from st Pete pier ! The crew was friendly, the ride was smooth, and the views were absolutely beautiful. Watching the sun set over the water was the highlight, and we even spotted some dolphins. Definitely a relaxing and memorable experience—I highly recommend it!

What a great little trip this weekend! We went to Egmont key for the day and it was a blast. Water was perfect! Crew on board was super friendly and accommodating. Facilities were nice and clean too. We are local to FL and decided to do Christmas pics for our Christmas cards and we got some great shots! We will definitely go again and try the sunset cruise next. Remember if you’re early you’re on time, and if you’re on time, you’re late! Get there early and be ready to go :)

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! 🤗🌊☀️💜🛥
