"Love this ferry, it's a great ride to Anna Maria Island and such a great price! Been on this 4-5 times already in the past few months & love the free trolley & buses around town! If you just want to see the sunset you don't have to get off of the boat, leave RW at 7 head to island for pick ups and head back ! Captain Nick is my ultimate favorite with the best first mates Traci or Charlie & I can't forget Captain Rick( but I may have gotten his name wrong)because he's super cool too! Love the boat & the workers make it even better !"
"Best way to visit Anna Marie Island! We took friends on the ferry, had a great meal at AMOB, shopped, visited the beach and had a nice ride back home. No hassle finding a place to park! I was able to ride in my motorized wheel chair. We saw dolphins and a real surprise was a sting ray that jump out of the water about 3 feet, curled its wings and splashed back down, wow! The captain and first mate are so friendly and helpful. Thanks Manatee County, we’ll be back. - K. Thomas, Bradenton Fl"
"Absolutely loved it! Made a day of it with my granddaughter. What a blessed day. On the trip from the Riverwalk to Bridge Street we had Captain Jeff and Terrie who were both so joyful, helpful and accommodating and on the return trip we had Captain Jonathan and the Fav DJ Mike. Wow what a fun trip. From the music played to the entertaining personalities on board, the rides both up and back were so worth the cost and so worth the trips. What a crew. Loved them!!! Will definitely do it over and over again. Highly recommend to get out of traffic or just enjoy an hour round trip in the fabulous Gulf."
"Had a great time taking the ferry to Bridge Street today. We weren’t sure what to expect but the ferry was very clean with fun crews. It was a perfect day to enjoy the water ride, trip to the beach (if you like) and lunch. Lots of restaurants to choose from and cute shops to explore. We saw manatees & a dolphin! Will definitely be taking this again very soon!"
"Had an amazing day on the Ferry and AMI. Our Captain, Nick, and First Mate Charlie kept us entertained and informed while on board. Smooth sailing for a busy Easter Day on the water. Definitely will return and highly recommend it for others. It is a great way to spend the day without worrying about driving and parking."
