Thanks Beach Buddy Tours for an awesome time! I highly recommend the 4 hour private Sunset-Dolphin trip! My family loved it, we will make this part of our vacation ritual. We saw Dolphins up close, lots of cool birds and even a Manatee. Capt. John is very attentive to your needs, and is well versed on the area and local history which provided for and entertaining as well as educational time. We had a party of 6 and the boat was sparkling clean with plenty of room to move about and even had a small on board bathroom which came in handy for one of the kids. This is much better than the bigger group tours where you don't know who you will be paired with. read more

Can't say enough great things about our recent day out with beach buddy tours. Captain john is a great host. My wife, 15 month old son, and i had a blast. It was a beautiful day out. The boat is comfortable and clean. You can relax for the ride, thats for sure. We saw dolphins and manatees. Captain john took us to a beach where we gathered some awesome shells and got to swim and cool down. After that he took us to a waterfront restaurant where we docked the boat and enjoyed some yummy food. This was one for the books, and our family has added this experience to a list of unforgettable memories. Great hospitality!!!! Thank you captain john!!! read more

We just spent 5 days in Fort Myers and the highlight of our vacation was the time we spent with Captain John of Beach Buddy Tours. We had a fantastic experience on the water with Beach Buddy Tours! Captain John and First Mate Carolyn gave us a fun-filled tour seeing many dolphins, manatee, bald eagles, stingrays and many different beautiful birds native to this area. We also stopped at a beautiful beach to do shelling as well. We highly recommend Beach Buddy Tours if you want to have a fun time! -- Don and Laurie L. read more

Booked a last minute trip with Capt. John of Fishing Buddy Charters, beautiful scenery, great company and tons of fun! I'm new to the area and have been trying to figure out how to fish salt water style as I come from a fresh water only environment. Capt. John took the time to teach me some salt water techniques that I will be able to perfect on my own. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and will be booking another trip in the near future to learn more tips and tricks! Barry & Iris, Cape Coral read more

This was our second year with Beach Buddy Tours. Captain John and Captain Carolyn did wonderful jobs and were so kind! We had our younger kids with and they did the best job showing us manatee, getting dolphins to play in our wake on the boat - which thrilled us all! And showing us the sights and finding the best areas for us to go that weren't crowded with other boats. They took lots of pictures and shared them with us quickly. VERY highly recommend! Check out their FB for photos of tours. read more

Merry Christmas Captain John! Happy to review for you! Capt. John truly makes you feel like a Fishing Buddy! I moved to the area earlier this year and although I have my own boat I was not familiar with tidal waters I have hired Fishing Buddy Charters and Capt. John has given me fishing lessons. I am now confident in my abilities to navigate a fish the gulf waters but still have so much more to learn so I plan on continuing my "lessons" into 2014. Highly recommend 5 star! read more

I came to town for a last minute summer getaway and decided to take the family out for a fishing trip. We have fishing quite a bit in Georgia but never in Florida so we were very excited. What a great day we had! Capt. John was fun, energetic, had great knowledge of the area and with his help we had a great day on the water. I kept his number and will use again!!! read more

Had a great time over the holiday season with Capt. John and Fishing Buddy Charters. I would highly recommend him! I have fished with many Captains before and no one came close to providing the experience he did. Very knowledgeable about the area and it's wildlife and history. Caught Grouper, Snapper and a Redfish! Will use again next time we are in FL. read more
