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!

I really appreciate the privacy of the boat rides compared to so many other businesses that will put 30 to 50 people on a boat for a lower price and for a much lower quality experience.

Captain Shannon did not maintain communication as was promised, but finally responded to calls and texts the night before at 9:00 p.m after promising he would call at 6:00 p.m.with a change of time and pick-up location. He said he had several bookings for the day, but offered me a tarpon trip for money which I declined. He called me the morning of the trip, May 21st, to cancel the trip. He said he was on the water, hit a submerged object and wrecked his boat. Said how about tomorrow??? No thanks! To date, no charge credit has been issued, and of course, no further communication from the careless captain! Needless to say, the family was very disappointed, and it was suggested that he simply bumped us for a full day charter. Wen speaking to me, "the captain" referred to me as "buddy". I have never really liked that term, and always felt that people who call me "buddy" are anything but. Captain Shannon is not my buddy and if you are smart, you will take this message to heart.
