Island Pearl Excursions - Bradenton Beach, Florida

This tour was amazing! Christina did most of the talking, and was incredibly knowledgable and funny. I've been on dolphin tours before, but this was really a cool and different experience. You can tell this company cares about the sea creatures, and they have a lot of respect for the animals. There's so much more to see than just dolphins, too! We saw different birds, fish, manatees, dolphins, sunken sail boats, big beautiful homes along the water, banyan trees, playgrounds in the water, and so much more. The water is so clear that we could see to the very bottom of the gulf from the boat.

Funny side note- this tour wasn't a part of the plan for the day- We had our hearts set on going to a Farmer's Market that morning and were SO disappointed to arrive and find it doesn't exist anymore. We quickly shifted gears in an effort to save the day, and landed on the dolphin cruise. When we got off the boat, my cheeks hurt from smiling for 2 days. It was the best thing we could have done, and no one was mad about the market anymore. Next year we are going to go again, and we can't wait. Thank you for the incredible experience and memories made with my family! Tell Henry hi!!

Omg....we had the BEST time with Kelly & Julie yesterday! We sang, danced, talked, learned some of the history, saw the most awesome dolphin show for about an hour (EVERYONE took videos-even the captains!) found shells, sand dollars, and watched the sun go down. This duo is a blast to ride with.

We’ve been on a couple sunset cruises but this was by far the best one. We saw dolphins and watched the sunset. Would highly recommend coming to Island Pearl Excursions if you’re looking to do a sunset tour, dolphin tour or they offer several different options.

My family and I booked a boat to have a burial at sea for a dear loved one who passed away. Bridget was super friendly helping us coordinate the event and patiently answered all of our many questions. Caption John took exceptional care of us and went out of his way to make it a smooth and memorable experience for us. It was an absolutely beautiful service, everything I wanted and more. I highly recommend this company. They are fantastic, very professional and incredibly kind. Thank you for everything! ❤️

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise. First mate Kathy was so friendly and knowledgeable. She made the cruise memorable. We saw several dolphins playing.

We got to see a few dolphins and a nice sunset on a clear night. The first mate gave us a few tidbits of information about the area and had answers to all of our questions. The Island Pearl is by no means a luxury yacht, but it got the job done. Would definitely recommend seeing the sunset from the water in person.

We had a really enjoyable sunset/dolphin cruise! I highly recommend it! Make sure to bring a sweatshirt or jacket as it does get chilly on the water. A quick walk from Trolly stop on Gulf and 2nd St. Go into the marina bld and they will let you know where to go.
