  Coastal Friends delivered exactly the kind of day we were hoping for and then some. Captain Aladono and Damaris took us all around near Captiva for snorkeling and shell hunting, and the shell finds were incredible. They knew all the right spots and made the entire experience feel effortless. What really stood out was how kid friendly they were. They were amazing with our little ones and somehow managed to check every box on our wish list. We found manatees, saw dolphins, snorkeled, explored, and even stopped at North Captiva for ice cream. The kids had an absolute blast. For the adults, it was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Mimosas, rum shots, snacks, and great conversation made for a pretty ideal day on the water. On top of that, Captain Aladono shared so much local knowledge and history that the trip ended up being educational too. Huge pros: bathroom on the boat, drinks and snacks provided, very kid friendly, amazing shell finds, and they truly customize the experience for your group. Recommendation: book the half day trip or longer. The extra time is absolutely worth the money. Only small con: the dock was a little difficult to find initially, but once we got there everything was smooth sailing.

  We are visiting from Thailand, and this was such a fun and memorable experience for our family! I highly recommend Coastal Friends Boat Tours. Everything was amazing from start to finish. The captain was knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. The private boat tour was beautiful and perfect for spending quality time together. We loved the scenery and were so excited to see dolphins too! If you're looking for something special to do in Cape Coral, definitely book with them. We would love to come back again someday!

  We had the best time on our trip with Aldo and Dimaris of Coastal Friends Boat Tours. We booked a random add on to an Airbnb stay and it turned out to be the best impulse buy ( booking ) ever. Aldo was very communicative and flexible. Highly knowledgeable, puts you at ease right away. You feel like you are boating with friends from the start and they are friends by the end! Excellent sunset viewing, so many dolphins, great stories and local history. Dad jokes at no extra charge. Even the teens were engaged. Great for all ages. Highly recommend.

  Es war eine traumhaft schöne Tour! Wir haben die Delfin und Sonnenuntergangstour über Getyourguide gebucht und wurden sehr herzlich von Aldo und seiner Frau empfangen. Man hat sich sofort super wohl gefühlt und es wurde auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Sie haben sich auch sehr viel Mühe gegeben, dass wir Delfine sehen, aber man muss natürlich einfach wissen, dass sowas nie garantiert ist. Wir würden mit den beiden jederzeit wieder eine private Tour buchen ☺️

  I can’t say enough wonderful things about the day we spent with Aldo and Damaris. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it felt less like a tour and more like spending time with old friends. Their love for each other is so genuine and inspiring—it truly set the tone for the entire experience. They went above and beyond to create such a personalized, unforgettable day for us. We explored beautiful private beaches, collected seashells, and even saw dolphins—including a baby dolphin, which was absolutely magical. Their knowledge of the area and passion for what they do made everything even more special. They treated us with incredible hospitality, making sure every detail was perfect. We docked at a really cool spot for lunch, enjoyed some ice cream, and ended the day watching a breathtaking sunset on the water. What meant the most, though, was the connection we felt with them. It was genuine, warm, and something I’ll always remember. This experience was worth every penny and is honestly reason enough for me to come back to Cape Coral. If you’re considering a day on the water, don’t hesitate—this is something truly special.
