🌊 That’s a wrap on our MOST FUN Naples Bay Water Shuttle season yet! 🌊

As we tie up for the summer, we just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who made this season so special. To our locals, snowbirds, sunbirds, visitors, regular riders, and first-timers — you turned this into our most fun season ever.

Every smiling face, sunset ride, recommendation to a friend, and day spent on the water helped make the Blue Pelican something truly special. We’re incredibly grateful to be part of this community.

A huge thank you goes out to our crew:
⚓ Captain Shawn
⚓ Captain Brian
⚓ Captain Lauren

They worked hard all season to create memorable experiences and keep the good vibes rolling every day.

While our regular shuttle season has ended, Blue Pelican doesn’t disappear for summer! ☀️

Want to plan a Blue Pelican Takeover Day? We’re available all summer for private group outings! Gather your:
🎉 Friend groups
🏘 Neighborhood groups
⛪ Church groups
👥 Community organizations
🍹 Social clubs & more

Take over the boat and make it your own day on the water.

We plan to return the week of Thanksgiving, and we’re even considering weekend runs in October if there’s enough demand 👀

One last favor: if you had a great experience this season, a 5-star Google review means the world to us. Reviews help us grow, gain traction, and potentially expand operations in the future. Every review truly helps keep us moving forward.

Thank you for an unforgettable season. We already can’t wait to see everyone again.

💙 See you on the water,
The Blue Pelican Crew
