These guys rock! True professionals. I've never had a bad time. I own my own 35' boat, but often go out with Pure FL, so I can relax and fish!!! Captain Patrick and mate Maddox are fantastic! read more

Pure Florida - Filthy boat as well as a bad trip all around - Boat Charters Near Me - Naples, Florida

I am extremely disappointed by the way my family was treated before our sunset cruise. We were celebrating my grandmother's 80th birthday with our entire family, and everyone had reservations. My parents and siblings boarded first. When I approached with my family, the employee checking people in, Braxton, stopped me and insisted our party had an extra person. We did not. I calmly explained that I had the same last name as the rest of my family who had already boarded and that there must have been a mistake. Instead of listening, he repeatedly interrupted me, argued with me, and treated me as though I was trying to board without a reservation. I asked another employee in the same uniform if he could assist because Braxton was being so rude. His response was simply "No," and he told me to deal with Braxton. Trying to get my partner, who had our baby, so he could help explain the situation, I stepped toward the boat. Braxton immediately said, "If you take another step, that's a felony charge." I was shocked that such an extreme statement was made over what was ultimately their mistake. He then made me wait alone on the dock while he walked onto the boat to verify my reservation with my family. After a couple of minutes, he returned and admitted I was, in fact, on the reservation and allowed me to board. The entire interaction was unnecessary, humiliating, and completely overshadowed what should have been a joyful celebration for my grandmother's 80th birthday. Mistakes happen, but the way Braxton handled the situation--with hostility, accusations, interruptions, and threats--was completely unprofessional. Families deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially when the issue turns out to be an employee's mistake. I sincerely hope management addresses both the customer service and professionalism displayed by the staff working check-in. read more

Captain Zee and First Mate Kenny were great hosts! It was super hot today and a little choppy, but still a fun trip! The passengers all stayed in great spirits; we caught several fish, many too small, a few people will be eating fish for dinner! The big rods were able to grab a couple of huge groupers! Epic moment... a whole pod of dolphins just came out and to hang with the boat! Really fun way to spend my husband's birthday today! Thank you! read more

Great experience! Very enjoyable cruise out to the gulf. Nice boat, not too crowded. Highly recommend.

I would never use this company. Our party of 3 were not allowed on the sunset cruise because we had purchased our tickets on Groupon but we were having trouble getting the redemption code. They told me I had to go to the office to figure it out. While I was gone, the other 2 members of my party were standing at the boat waiting for me. They watched a family of 6 walk up having the same problem. After several minutes they let that family on. This family just happened to be a different skin color. By the time I got my issue resolved and was walking back, the boat had already pulled up anchor and were leaving the dock. Worst customer service EVER. DONT USE THIS COMPANY! read more

First and foremost: a shout out to our crew! Capt. Josh, Renee, and Zack. All around great time. You know it's hard to truly appreciate your own back yard until you actually explore it. I never knew these homes existed. It was like a BTS of "millionaire row". And for me being an IBO with Amway (message me if interested) this tour gave me quite a few images to put on my vision board. Enough about me. ..the crew was great. Capt Josh had jokes for dayz and Zack on the upper deck when given the invisible Mike was a great story teller of houses. Drinks on board are canned, bottled, and pre mixed. My drink was $8...to give you an idea. I highly recommend this cruise. read more

I went on the 6 hour bottom fishing trip. The sea were forecast to be 3 to five feet. I called the day before to cancel but they refused. Seas were easily 4 to 6 feet. Twenty folks on board and easily 1/3 were sea sick including me, and in 70 years of hard fishing this is only the third time Captain had a hard time finding fish but that happens. I hooked three fish and landed two, neither were worth keeping . Nearly impossible to keep the bait on the bottom due to the swells On the upside the boat was clean and safe. The crew was helpful and professional read more

So much fun and our guides were awesome taking our picture for us and answering our questions about all the beautiful houses and boats. Bonus was dolphins and birds were stunning. read more

We booked a sightseeing cruise with Pure Florida in April leaving from Tin City. We opted for a day time cruise, an hour and a half. We got tickets on line ahead of time, but they have a ticket booth as well. It was a tad slow to board, we opted to seat on top, under the shade (there's a canopy on half of top area). Wear sunscreen and bring a jacket. A hat might be a good idea as well. You're not supposed to bring food on board (we brought just water), but some fellow passengers brought trays of take out and had a spread. Not OK, but staff didn't say anything to them. You can buy snacks and drinks on board. There are also pretty clean restrooms located down below. This was supposed to be a more historical tour of Naples Bay, but I didn't feel like I got enough history during the tour, it's more focused on rich people's mansions, which doesn't interest me much. I thought the tour was a tad too talky for me. The Gordon Pass waterways was nice to enjoy, they gave up to take us closer to the ocean, which was disappointing for me. It also made for a shorter tour, way less than an hour and a half. The highlight for me was to see dolphins and some interesting birds as well as passing by mangrove islands. Downside, many boats speeding by, shaking the Pure Florida boat pretty well, not so pleasant for us. I would say it was a mixed bag. The cruise is pleasant, some of the other passengers not so much (had a guy behind with sound from the phone - whatever he was watching the whole time). I also didn't care for their music choices. A staff member offers to take pix of your group which is nice. If I would use Pure Florida again I would choose more of a nature type cruise. Had better cruise experiences than this one. Just OK to average. read more

Went on the sunset cruise with the Double Sunshine and Captain Alec with mates David & Renee. We had a great time, wonderful weather and a fantastic sunset. I'm so glad I brought a sweatshirt because it was a little chilly on the water. There was running commentary over the speaker system and the staff offered to take group photos, which was nice. The boat was packed! Come early to get in line if you want a good spot. For us upstairs on the left was the best to really enjoy the view but they do let you move around to take pictures once the sun is setting. The trip was a little over an hour and a half. Adults enjoyed the bar with snacks downstairs; there were a lot of young kids and grandparents as well. We enjoyed the ride and the view! read more

We took our visiting daughter, two teenage grandsons and their friend on the Dolphin Eco and Shelling boat tour. This was another positive experience with a Pure Florida tour. Yesterday we had Captain Chris and crew member, Braxton. Both were extremely friendly, accommodating.and knowledgeable. We found plenty of shells on Keywaydin Island and the water was perfect for swimming. Plus we saw lots of dolphins on the way to the Island and back. We will continue to recommend Pure Florida for great water tour experiences! read more

Favorite Boat Tour in Naples FL!!! Super friendly staff that's very knowledgeable in all the homes and environment around the whole area. They sell both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages on board. The tour lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes total. Definitely worth to check out and it's next to a bunch of restaurants and mom and pop shops to spend some time before or after your tour. Highly recommend to anyone! (: read more

Hands down worst company, staff misguided us inexperienced. They don't have a clue what's going on and told us to wait at the wrong spot only to miss our boat. After us missing it, they tried telling us it was our fault meanwhile they gave us the wrong information on timing and where to go. read more

We recently took a 1.5 hour sightseeing/mansions tour of Naples Bay with Pure Florida, and had a great time out on the water. The trip departs from Tin City, so plenty of restaurants and cute shops to occupy your time before or after your tour. The narration was excellent as it gave a great overview of Naples Bay and useful insights of the mansions located along the water. The only negative would be that the boarding time took quite a while as there was a long line, but I guess that might be the norm during peak season. Having taken the tour, I'd recommend it to all visitors of Naples as it really is a pleasant trip, and you see a side of Naples you simply cannot see except by being on the water. We all enjoyed this trip since the weather was perfect, and agreed it's something we wouldn't mind doing again. read more

We took the Backwater Calm Bay Fishing trip this Saturday morning. We had such a great trip with Braxton and Captain Adam that we booked again as soon as we got off the boat! Braxton and Adam were so helpful, accommodating, and fun. We highly recommend it! Plus we came home with dinner! read more

I purchased a Groupon and the booking process was easy. There were very little people on the boat maybe 10 total so it was fun to have so much space. This was on august 18 at 3pm so it is slow summer season in south Florida. The bar was great, we had plenty of Prosecco which were $10 each. I was already drunk getting on so to go on drinking made it fun. Captain Dan was really fun, and nice to look at too:) David was really funny and an amazing host and helpful, even after the charter was over he went out of his way to give advice. Charter was just the right amount of time. The only tip I have is common knowledge for anyone working in tourism: You will have to deal with all kinds of people, including someone like me that is drinking and trying to have a good time. Don't be a buzz kill. However we had an absolute blast, it was a great way to do an activity to celebrate my birthday and I'd love to do this again!! read more

Went on the 6 hour trip and the entire boat absolutely killed it! We caught numerous Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and some grunts? Everyone brought home fish! Jersey guy caught a beautiful keeper Pompano. We had two anglers catch 23" and 25" Mangrove Snappers. Those things were huge!!We had a blast catching (and releasing) Amberjacks! Captain Thomas and Patrick put us on the fish and busted their butts keeping reels at the ready and piling the cooler with fish. Highly recommend booking a trip if you're in the Naples FL area. I'm going to book another before I head north!!! read more

We have taken 2 different trips with Pure Florida and both were excellent. The first trip the the Eco Shelling cruise. Our captain, Henry, was very knowledgable about the wildlife we saw (dolphins, ospreys, pelicans, bald Eagle, and many other birds). Once at the island, we had about an hour (maybe a little more) to explore. We went shelling and found some amazing shells! Great cruise!! Our second trip was the dog cruise, Bark on the Ark, which is once per month on a Saturday. We brought our yellow Lab and he had a blast! He swam in the Gulf, then we strolled and collected some shells. We will definitely return for more cruises with Pure Florida!! read more

Easy to book online and decent pricing for such quality tours. Very relaxing and we saw lots of wildlife. Will use again.

To start off, I would like to say that the playlist for the ride was exceptional. The songs played don't stop me now by queen and sweet Caroline really caught my attention. I'd also like to thank the staff: Captain Josh, Renee and the other guy. I'm sorry I forgot your name. The dolphins were an amazing sight, as was the sunset. It was an overall amazing ride, and I hope to experience it again! read more

This was an easy and relaxing excursion with a beautiful spot to chill, collect shell treasures, or take a stroll along the Keewaydin Island. The pontoon boat and crew were all about safety. They also wanted to make sure no one gets dehydrated so water was available at anytime. Our family had a great time that we talked about doing another cruise with Pure Naples. Here's a tip, make sure to make your reservation in advance since the CoVid situation does limit the number of guests on the pontoon boat or any other boat vessel. read more

Pure Florida - Time to check in... - Boat Charters Near Me - Naples, Florida

What a fun sightseeing tour aboard the Double Sunshine out of Tin City in Naples. The staff were friendly and outgoing making the experience even better. A one and half hour cruise along the Naples Bay, Gordon River to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way see how the other half live! Luxurious homes line the water on both sides. And the stories you hear from the crew about the owners makes it fun. The wildlife along the way, birds, dolphins ...we love the pelicans. You can purchase drinks and snacks on board. There is an upstairs and downstairs. Restrooms are also available on the ship. Shop around for tickets. We found a great deal through Groupon. Loved it. Will do it again! read more

We enjoyed our trip with Pure Florida around Naples Bay and up the Gordon River. The Double Sunshine was clean and well-kept, and the bathrooms were especially clean - probably helped that we were the first cruise of the day, but it was still a nice surprise. They do live narration every trip, and, while the main announcer may have sounded a little bit bored at times (I can't imagine how many times he has had to repeat the exact same thing!), the stories he told were very interesting, about the history of the area and the fancy houses. The crew also kept a good eye out for dolphins - we saw several! I especially enjoyed our young guide, Alec. He came to the top deck when they were running in "quiet mode" (when we cruised into a bay surrounded by the expensive houses). He was funny, enthusiastic, answered all of our questions well, and was just a pleasure all around. There is a sunshade over the top deck, but early in the morning the sun was at such an angle that we were still bathed in sunlight. It was not too hot on this March day though, so it was fine. It was easy to access our cruise boat from Tin City, and boarding was well organized. Would certainly do this again! read more

We took the sightseeing trip for my birthday. What an awesome time.

This is hard to rate as one entity. I have taken 3 trips and all were different, so I need to discuss each separately. Going chronologically: 1. First trip was the 3.5 hour calm water trip. Luckily the Gulf was calm this day and we ventured 3 miles out Gordon Pass and fished a amall reef. Had steady action and a fun trip for me and a new angling buddy. Probably rated a 4. 2. Second time was on the 4 hour deep sea trip. The Gulf was rolling with 4-5 footers and the ride out got the adrenaline going. We started fishing and got very solid snapper and grouper hits. I caught a 22 inch gag and fought another that a porpoise stole and something else big that broke me off. Loved this trip--definite 5. 3. Third time was less lucky. The captain thought the gulf was not calm, so we were relagated to the inside waters. Those are fun in a kayak but not in a 45 foot pontoon boat. We got mostly catfish and sheepsheads, with a few snapper thrown in. Not the fishing I paid $100 to access. I would not choose to repeat a trip on this boat unless I had young kids or weak stomached adults along. Rating no better than 3. May i recommend you target a boat at near shore Gulf trips. Not necessarily "deep sea" but pursuing better fish out on the nearest wrecks and hard bottom? I will give it a 4 but you need not take a Back Bay trip that ends up raising hardhead cats. read more

Captain Chris and Braxton did an amazing job and helped us catch a ton of fish! Definitely recommend for families with kids - we had a 9 and 11 year old in our group. read more

We bought a Groupon offer for the dolphin cruise, and it was definitely worth it. When we were on the tour boat, I forgot our tour included shelling time, so I was glad that was part of it. Otherwise, 3 hours out on the water might be too long. There was only one other couple on the boat with us, so we got our choice of where to sit and stand throughout the trip. They have a bathroom on board, but I prefer not to have to use anything like that again because it's hand pumped. I thought "drinks" like soda were provided on this tour because it says that on my Groupon offer, but they only had bottled water. We saw dolphins throughout the trip especially at the beginning and end. The tour guide was glad to follow and get close to any we spotted. At some point, he tried to make waves to have the dolphins play with us, but a larger boat came and disrupted that. We saw plenty of birds on the trip - mainly osprey and pelicans. The shelling part was surprising to me because we pulled up onto a mangrove covered shore and followed a path to the other side, which turned out to be a secluded beach on the Gulf of Mexico. I didn't realize we were so close to the other side after navigating through the bay covered in lots of greenery. I was glad that they provided us with bags for shelling. If you're looking for sand dollars, Keewaydin Island is one place to go for them. I had been searching for sand dollars all over in Sanibel and Ft. Myers and hadn't found a single one. We found one at Keewaydin, but it crumbled in my fingers. The other couple on our tour found more than one. read more
