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.

Roxanne, thank you so much for this incredibly kind review!We absolutely loved spending the day with your family. One of my favorite memories from your trip was watching Danela every time we picked up speed. The water was so smooth that day that we were able to open it up a bit, and seeing her excitement and hearing her laugh every time the boat took off put a smile on all of our faces!Thank you also for your kind words about Damaris. She genuinely loves helping guests spot wildlife and make the most of their time on the water, so she’ll be smiling when she reads what you wrote about her.One of the things we enjoy most about offering a private boat tour is getting to share Southwest Florida through the eyes of our guests. Whether it’s dolphin watching, spotting manatees and ospreys, or simply enjoying a beautiful day on the water, every trip ends up being a little different.Your family was an absolute joy to spend the day with, and we’re so glad you chose Coastal Friends for your private boat tour. There are a lot of great ways to spend a day in Southwest Florida, and we’re grateful that we got to be part of yours. Thank you again for spending the day with us, and we hope our paths cross again soon!Your Coastal Friend,
Captain Aldo Milanes
