Set sail on the Black Pearl, a 24-ft Berkshire Tritoon, for an unforgettable day on the water. Known for stability and speed, this boat offers fun for all — whether you're cruising, fishing, or soaking up the sun.
BluWave Boat Rental operates in the Anna Maria Island area, offering a selection of guided and self-guided boating experiences designed for families, groups, and anglers. The company provides a range of vessels including a 21' center-console deck boat (Calypso Rose) and a 24 ft Berkshire tritoon (Black Pearl) with a 150 HP engine, GPS, and Bimini top. Trips range from short two-hour excursions — such as the Scallywag Tour and Crows Nest Tour that focus on snorkeling, shelling, mangroves, wildlife, and dolphin sightings — to full-day experiences like the Pirates Paradise Custom Tour that feature dockside dining, swimming, snorkeling, and beachcombing on secluded shores.
BluWave Boat Rental supplies snorkeling equipment and dip nets on guided tours where noted, and emphasizes comfort and safety through vessel features like Garmin technology, Bluetooth stereos, and dual ice chests on select boats. Passenger capacities vary by vessel, accommodating up to 10 passengers on the Calypso Rose and up to 12 on the Black Pearl tritoon. Booking options include curated tours with guides and private rentals for custom itineraries.
The business is positioned for visitors who want relaxed exploration, family-friendly activities, and opportunities to see local marine life. Information about trip durations, on-board amenities, and recommended items such as sunscreen and refreshments is provided in each trip listing. Prospective guests can choose between short wildlife-focused tours or longer, flexible days on the water. Several vessels include Bluetooth stereos for music, dual ice chests for refreshments, and GPS or Garmin fish-finding technology to support fishing and navigation safely.
