Best Tour Ever! - Such an amazing experience with Aldo and his wife! They were very professional and genuinely so fun to be around. We saw so many dolphins that at one point we couldn’t even count how many were with us. From the dolphins playing in our wake, to shelling on the sandbar and lunch at Cabbage Key, this was such an amazing experience that my family will never forget and we can’t wait to come back again! Thank you for such an amazing time!

Sailin’ Boujee - Hands down, the best! Cpt Aldo and D were willing to push our tour an hour due to fog. After the fog lifted it turned out to be the most beautiful day! We had once in a lifetime dolphin viewing opportunity, there was no rushing, it was all about our time line. They were ultra prepared, providing shade tent for beach and chairs and even a paddle board! (Mimosas too! ☺️) All we needed to bring was sunglasses and towels. 100% recommend. Would go again and again!

Best Tour 10/10 - Coming from Canada we were set out to find a great experience and luckily one day Aldo and Damaris were sailing by our dock on the way out and got to chatting. Turns out I was looking at their website the night before. Had the most amazing day out with them. They went above and beyond for us which was way more than we ever expected. We sailed out around 8:30am and found a pod (or maybe more) of dolphins right away which was so spectacular coming from a dolphin lover. Spent time at Sanibel Island for much of the day and ended up getting a late lunch at a spot I can’t quite remember. I can’t recommend this tour and this amazing couple enough 10/10!!

NUMBER ONE IN CAPE CORAL!!! - Aldo and his wife, Demeris, were AMAZING! They completely customized our adventure, catering to our late arrival, scheduling a time and pick up location that were convenient for us, and spending most of the time looking for dolphins! They taught us about the local sea life, and were very knowledgeable. Aldo was hilarious, and we laughed throughout the entire excursion. Demeris was sweet and so helpful. Their boat was the newest, cleanest and most impressive boat I’ve ever been on in this price range. I own my own boat, but this one made me feel like I was royal. My family and I travel the world and we do excursions all over the place. This one was one of my favorite, and I highly recommend it. The value was exceptional, and the experience was PERFECT! WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Perfect Evening on the Water - We had such a fantastic time on our trip with Aldo and Damaris! From start to finish, they went out of their way to make sure everyone was having fun. The music and drinks onboard set the perfect vibe, and the ride itself was smooth and relaxing. Stopping at Sanibel beach was unforgettable. My sons loved swimming and exploring the water, and we all had a great time finding sanddollars along the shore. Watching the sunset from the beach was absolutely stunning, and something we’ll always remember. Aldo and Damaris made the whole experience feel personal and special. This was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, and we can’t recommend Coastal Friends Boat Tours enough!
