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.

My wife and I went out on a morning adventure looking for trout, mackerel, and some snapper to filet. Well, we found the fish and smashed them! Easily caught our limit in snapper and mackerel.

Marty cut the fish up at the dock for us and even gave us a couple recommendations on some local watering holes to celebrate the morning catch. It's an amazing experience down here in Boca Grande and he's the man to put you on the fish.

If you have never fished for Tarpon, they are a challenge. They are tough to get to bite, then they are tough to hook, and if you get that far, just wait for the fight you'll have getting them to the boat! Whoa! An experience of a lifetime and highly recommended. Go out early, bring lots of water and hydration beverages. I'm definitly going again!
