What an incredible afternoon! Captain Zip and his first mate were kind, fun and helpful! The boat was clean and comfortable. Visiting Egmont Key was my favorite part of my trip to St. Pete!

Captain Josh and First Mate Robin made the trip very enjoyable. We saw many dolphins and they would stop to let the passengers observe them. Great with the kids on the boat. Overall a very pleasant trip to and from Egmont Key.

Absolutely perfect. The ride was fun and they give you plenty of time to explore the key and go swimming. We even saw some dolphins on the way back!

Shoutout to Robyn & Captain Rob! Y’all were so helpful! I’m a single mom, planned a nice day out at the beach with my toddler and 11year old. They helped us on and off the ferry with our stroller and my baby girl. You guys really made our day. Thank you for the fun we will be back!
