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.

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.
