We had an A++++ experience with the Black Pearl and Captain Larry.
The boat was in excellent condition (practically new), the water was beautiful. Larry was incredibly helpful and made the reservation, planning and castoff instructions a very uneventful. The new boat is in pristine condition and a very smooth in the inter-coastal waters. Plenty of room for a large group and extremely comfortable for a fun filled day.
Would highly recommend The Black Pearl of Siesta for any family who is seeking the very best experience in the Sarasota boating!

Thank you Captain Larry!

Captain Larry is FANTASTIC! He took us around the area for an hour to show us the ropes. I’ve driven a pontoon twice, and he said if I wasn’t comfortable he could take us out for 5 hours. After his lesson he gave, I felt comfortable going out on the water. He navigated us to Snake Island, which was absolutely amazing! Beautiful place to anchor and swim! He gave us everything we needed! We stopped at the tiki bar and I docked the boat with no issue. If you are inexperienced at boating, I highly recommend using the Black Pearl! I am a mom, with two 15 year olds and I was able to do it without an issue. Other boat rentals won’t give you the time of day to teach proper boating the way Captain Larry did!

Beth, You were an absolute trooper in paying attention to my instructions that I felt very confident in your ability to handle the Black Pearl pontoon boat. I am so happy that you were able to enjoy your day with your girls and thank you for the nice review Captain Larry

We rented a home on the canal through Cottages on the Key and decided to rent a boat through Black Pearl to enhance our canal vacation. We are so glad we did! Larry was very accommodating and very helpful throughout the process. He delivered the boat, gave very helpful recommendations, and went above and beyond to make our experience the best. The boat was beautiful, comfortable and impeccably kept. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to do this again!

Spent a fabulous morning with Captain Larry of Black Pearl Siesta Key. We were meant to go out on Sunday which turned out to be the coldest November day for years and he was really flexible and very kindly let us change at 10 minutes notice to today as once we met up at the North bridge we all realised last Sunday it was too cold for an enjoyable trip what amazing service and kindness. Today we had a really fun trip around Siesta bay out to Lido Key and down towards Big Pass. The pick up in the canals made for a really interesting start to the trip as we took a look at some amazing properties on the way out to the intercostal waterways. Thanks for a great day out Captain Larry and we recommend your trip to anybody who wants to spend time safely on the water and learn more about Siesta Key we will definitely use you next time we’re back in Siesta Key
