Coastal Friends Boat Tours was an absolute highlight of our visit to south west Florida…read more My wife and our friends decided to take a sunset tour on Sunday. The boat was spacious and comfortable, very stable even amid the small swell and wakes of other boats (my wife has gotten seasick in the past, but had absolutely no problem with this trip due to the stability of the boat and the skill of Aldo the Captain/pilot). We enjoyed seeing Dolphins and Pelicans, and even a ray just after sunset.The sunset was amazing and memorable, but not the best part of our tour. What was the best part? Being hosted by the owner and captain Aldo, and his first mate (wife] Demaris. They are happy and friendly, and very skilled at operating their boat. But more than that, they are excellent hosts. We had a lot of laughs, and a very enjoyable afternoon. The opportunity to meet Aldo and Demaris, and enjoy their hospitality shouldn't be missed. You'll be glad you chose this company for your boat tour! TLDR; Relaxing and fun way to spend the afternoon. Aldo and Demaris are great people, enjoyable to be around and skilled in their business I highly recommend them as hosts and tour guides!

5 Stars - Unforgettable Charter Experience!…read more While on a recent sister vacation in Cape Coral, Florida, I had the pleasure of chartering a boat from a wonderful, family-run company--and from start to finish, the service was truly exceptional. From the moment I inquired, this husband-and-wife team went above and beyond to make us feel like longtime friends. Their warmth, hospitality, and genuine care made the entire experience feel like we were spending the day with dear old friends rather than just booking a tour. Despite some tropical weather, they created an unforgettable cruise filled with great conversation, constant laughter, and amazing memories. Their ability to keep things fun, relaxed, and entertaining no matter the circumstances speaks volumes about their dedication and passion for what they do. This is without a doubt the only charter company I'll be booking with on future visits to the area--and I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a laid-back, fun, and truly personal boating experience in Cape Coral.

We did the dolphin ecological tour with our two toddlers and the team truly went above and beyond to make it special for them. They had little sand baskets ready, let the kids drive the boat, and made them feel so included and excited the entire time. We were lucky enough to see dolphins AND manatees, which was such a cool experience for all of us. Beyond that, everyone was so welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a memorable experience while teaching about the local environment and wildlife. Special shout out to Annie, JR and Dennis for being so amazing! Thanks again!

We found a few boat rental places but Cape Coral Boat Rentals was the only place that allows one day or half day rentals. My son called and spoke with Doug and found out our options and requirements. My son had his boaters license from Michigan, but decided to get certified online from Florida, plus it was a refresher for him. Once we arrived the boat was in the water and ready for us to go. My son went inside the store and filled out paperwork and was given all the relevant information from Doug. He said Doug was very thorough and let him know about the shallow areas and what to watch out for. We had a great half day on the boat and Doug was waiting at the dock when we came back. Everything went smooth and we felt very welcome and safe. Thank you Doug for a wonderful experience.

Booking My High Tide was 100% the right call during my trip to Florida. My wife and I along with…read moresome other couples decided to go on a trip to Fort Myers and wanted book a charter for a fun afternoon on the water. I could not be happier about my experience with My High Tide! First off booking the Yacht was incredibly easy. I was able to quickly book online which was easy to do. I did have a few questions and called them directly and they answered right away and were very helpful. They had a few great options to choose from but with the size of our group we decided to go with the Azimut 72. IT IS GORGEOUS! The observation deck up top gives you amazing views of the water. The stern has so much room to relax and is incredibly luxurious. My wife loved the front of the vessel where she could get some sun and just relax. This yacht seemed brand new and was awesome. What made the experience over the top was the staff on board. Captain Joe was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. No doubt in my mind that he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. We also had Wayne on the boat who was the First Mate. He was great and always willing to answer all the questions we had. You could tell that both of these gentleman loved what they did and took care of all the guests. These two made the experience unforgettable! Everyone is already wondering when we are going to go back to Florida and a lot of that is because of the 5 Star experience we had with My Tide Luxury Charters!
