Description

Our new 2024 GTX 300's have arrived! Spend a fabulous 90 minutes on the water (longer times available) with our professional guide. We often see manatees during the summer months (not guaranteed) and dolphins. We will start our tour from Maximo Park Boat Ramp and visit the Sunshine Skyway Bridge or Ft. Desoto or Shell Key for a walk on the beautiful white sandy beach or a wade in the beautiful Gulf. We can also customize lunch on the beach for you or visit other attractions or upgrade time to see other keys and sand bars in the area. There is so much to do and the guided tour allows you to see much more than renting a ski on your own! PLEASE NOTE: Florida requires all PWC operators born after January 1, 1988 hold a Florida Boaters license. The course takes 60 minutes and costs $20. Link will be sent to you after you book. Your choice whether or not to complete the course but risk is there if we are "pulled over" by fish and game.

Awesome Adventure

Captain Ryer was awesome! He took us around and showed us the sights. Got to see dolphins up close! Definitely recommend a trip with him.

Great time

Such a fun tour! They're both so nice and welcoming. We went out to the sandbar and back with lunch included. Would love to go again when we're back in town.

A day on the Pelican

The boat and crew were awesome. They made sure everyone was had what they need. we had such a great time. They played great music while traveling. The island was spectacular. White sand, blue water. We went through trails to get to the Gulf side and got to see the old lighthouse & Fort Dade. Very interesting and lots of fun. Thanks Pelican Crew!
