For $60 a person, I didn't want to fill my plate with salad- although salad is my favorite part. They didn't label the buffet dishes so we couldn't tell the difference between the chicken and the fish! The scallop potatoes had some kind of fish (crab maybe) in them but since they weren't labeled- it was an unpleasant surprise. It was a fun night with friends, but doubt if we would do it again. Oh, and did I mention they tack on 23% gratuity!

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.
