Escape the Ordinary & Explore South Florida by Boat!

Warn family oriented What an incredible experience! We had such a wonderful time on this boat tour with our family. The crew was friendly, professional, and made the trip even more enjoyable. We were treated to beautiful views of the Gulf Coast, watched dolphins swimming right alongside us, and ended the evening with a spectacular sunset. Everything was absolutely stunning. We can’t wait to come back and do it again with family and friends. A big thank you to the crew for making us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome throughout the entire trip!

A beautiful experience What an incredible experience! We had such a wonderful time on this boat tour. The mood was fun and relaxing from start to finish, and seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was absolutely amazing. The captain and first mate were fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to every detail. We loved all the fun facts they shared about the wildlife and the area. We were blown away by the beautiful sights and the number of dolphins we got to see. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend it!

A beautiful experience 10/10 trip! Everything was explained clearly, and we were given great information about everything we saw. Seeing dolphins was definitely a highlight, and the atmosphere couldn’t have been better!

A Perfect Day on the Water We had an amazing time cruising down the coast! We were able to see so many dolphins, and it was incredible watching them swim alongside the boat. The Captain and First Mate were extremely friendly, attentive, and took great care of us throughout the trip. This was an unforgettable experience, and we would absolutely do it again!

A Day to Remember A few days ago, my family and I went on a private boat tour with Coastal Friends. Our captain, Aldo, and his wife, Damaris, are out of this world. Their professionalism and attention to every detail surpassed our expectations. They took us to breathtaking scenery. Aldo knew all the best spots for sightseeing. From manatees, ospreys, pelicans, and dolphins, it was a day to remember. Aldo took his time to make sure we all enjoyed the ride, especially for my 13-year-old daughter, and Damaris was an excellent assistant. She made sure we felt comfortable and was always on the lookout for sights so we wouldn’t miss out. The best part was watching the sunset with some dolphins around, one of the most beautiful views of the day. It was a relaxing, fun, and unforgettable experience on the water. I highly recommend booking this private boat, and I can’t wait to repeat this gorgeous experience with Captain Aldo and Damaris.

Not enough words in the English language to sum up the brilliance! Where to start?

I reached out to Aldo and Damaris a couple of months before our trip to Florida, to enquire about a special boat trip, to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday in style.

I knew as soon as we started chatting by email that we had found our people!

We agreed on a flexible itinerary, that could tweak on the day depending on what we fancied- but we all agreed that our top priorities were seeing dolphins in their natural environment, and a trip to an unspoiled , quiet Floridian beach (we don’t do crowds!)

On the day, the moment we met Aldo and Damaris and saw their beautiful boat, we knew this was going to be special. They are the most warm, welcoming and kind people. We were immediately at ease and felt so safe with Captain Aldo’s exquisite knowledge. His sense of humour was pretty epic too

Within 45 mins of our sail, we were accompanied by the most incredible pod of dolphins who danced and played alongside the boat for quite some time! It was incredible!

We enjoyed a truly stunning, peaceful spot for the beach stop and again Aldo and Damaris had thought of everything for our comfort- beach set up, floats, snorkels, cold drinks and some pretty delicious pink fizz too! 🩷

After a stop for some Key Lime pie (recommended) it was back onto the water where Aldo gave both of our teens the opportunity to drive the boat! His guidance and teaching was just outstanding and they were both truly thrilled!

Damaris provided beautiful snacks for us, before we stopped for an incredible jump in the sea, ahead of sunset. The music was brilliant and even included our wedding song, by chance! All you need is love, by The Beatles. It could not have been more perfect. That was until we sailed back in and were joined again by a huge pod of dolphins!
Truly, incredible that they came to bid us farewell.

What Aldo and Damaris do is truly special. We honestly feel like we have made true friends, and no boat trip will ever compare. We cannot wait to spend time with our new coastal friends on our next trip to Florida. We enjoyed hearing about their lives, their family and equally they enjoyed hearing about ours!

Thankyou to both of you- until next time 🩵

Best time on the Water If you are ever in Cape Coral or Fort Myers Florida area and want an amazing time on the water. You gotta check coastal friend boat tours out.
Anything from dolphin sightings, to sunsets, to a relaxed time on the water with family and friends this is the company to use. The owner’s Aldo and Damaris are super chill. Very flexible with their time and itinerary and very reasonable with their prices. Pretty much everything that you would expect from a great time on the water you can have with this company. My wife and I Highly recommend them.
