Private Half-day Charter Tour In Naples, Florida

Spent a Saturday on this charter during a girls weekend and it did not disappoint! We had the best day with Captain Buddy! He was very professional and fun! He let us decide what we wanted to do- and was extremely accommodating! Highly recommend!!

My girls and I had a wonderful time with Captain Buddy. We saw dolphins which was a high point plus relaxing at Keewaydin beach was great. We loved cruising the waterways too! We would definitely recommend Captain Buddy!

Buddy is an excellent host! He proposed options and took us around to various sites. He set up chairs and an umbrella when we spent some time on the beach, and had a cooler of cold water. We were able to put our picnic in the cooler as well, and had the option of visiting the food boats! Much fun was had by all!

Best tour of Naples waterway we ever had. The captain was so knowledgable, flexible and fun. We loved it.

My family of 5 (adult children) and I went out with Buddy So relaxed and fun. He had a great plan but would change it to anything we wanted to do also. Fun half day.

This boat tour was the highlight of our trip in Naples! Captain Buddy was amazing and was beyond flexible, we had an issue with Uber an arrived late and he allowed us to extend our trip for an amazing price. The boat was spacious and Buddy built an upper deck for tanning and relaxing. We wish Buddy the absolute best with his business venture, and wish we lived closer to take his boat out more! Thank you, Buddy!

The captain puts the passenger wants first. He was very knowledgeable but extremely chill. Great boat, great tunes, and well worth the time.

The whole trip was wonderful, better than expected! The gulf was beautiful, saw more seashells than I’ve seen. Saw many dolphins.

Captain Buddy was great! His boat was clean and so compfortable. He showed us so many dolphins and took us to a great spot to grab some lunch. The kids had a blast and would definately use Cpt. Buddy in the future!

Captain Buddy was great! He helped guide our itinerary choices. We wanted a relaxing day on the water - Check. We wanted to see dolphins - check! We saw at least 8 or 9. Captain Buddy followed the first one we saw to allow us to get the full experience. We wanted to go shelling - check! Two different stops and tons of shells. Lastly, we wanted to jump from the top of the boat and he was great to make sure our kids got to do this (and dad). Thanks Captain Buddy! P.S. the boat was very clean which we appreciated. Bluetooth music! Lots of room for my wife, three kids and me.

Lovely, relaxing boat outing to a secluded barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Buddy was chill, fun, and a total professional. He knows the Naples waterways and is an experienced mariner. He pointed out marine life, answered questions about the area (he is a Naples native), and took us to the most beautiful island for shelling, swimming, and exploring. The beach was almost devoid of other people, even on a busy weekend with pristine weather. His pontoon boat is clean and comfortable, with hardly any bounce and a fun top deck for riding up high. Captain Buddy has traveled the world as a merchant marine and has great stories as well as local insights. He provided beach toys, chairs, a cooler full of ice and water--and then stepped back to allow us to explore/enjoy the island on our own. Five out of five stars. Will def. book again!

Captain Buddy is absolutely the way to go to get out for a trip around Port Royal or to get over to Keewaydin for some fun. His pontoon boat is clean and new and easy to board on and off if you have difficulty walking or young children to worry about. His background as a merchant marine will ensure your safety on the water as well. Buddy has an easy going personality, easy to talk to but not overbearing. He’s a Naples native so knows all the local info. 100% recommend him!

I can’t say enough good things about the cruise we took yesterday with our captain Buddy. Right from the beginning he was on time, the boat was bigger than we expected, and immaculately clean. The boat was also very new looking. Buddy the captain greeted us and made sure that we were very comfortable as we boarded. He carefully listened to us tell him where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do for the day. The weather that day was windy and parts of the water were choppy. Having said that, he navigated the boat very nicely and none of us felt any motion sickness. As we cruised around he pointed out the different islands and was very knowledgeable of the area. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He provided a wonderful event for us and I’m grateful to him for that.

We had a great time with Captain Buddy. He listened, then he used his vast knowledge of the area to give us JUST the experience we were looking for. On this trip we were looking to do a little shelling, experience wildlife, see the local sights and watch sunset. We accomplished all of those things and more in the most laid back relaxed way. He patiently answered all of our questions and adjusted his itinerary to fit our expectations. We are definitely going to ride with Captain Buddy in the future. We expect that our next trip will include a different variety of activities, but we anticipate that Captain Buddy will make sure we have a great time.

Captain Buddy was punctual, well prepared with extras (beach chairs, towels, water, etc..) knowledgeable of the islands (where to find the best shells especially), and friendly! We enjoyed our private boat ride, made our vacation extra special!

A group of five friends went on a fabulous 4 hour charter with Buddy. He was very flexible on our itinerary and let us plan the tour as we went along. We all had an enjoyable day and would definitely book this charter again.

We had a great time on Captain Buddy’s boat. His boat is very nice and very clean. Captain Buddy is professional, safe and courteous. We enjoyed the boat ride, the trip to Kewadin island and sunset. I highly recommend Captain Buddy!

My family and I really enjoyed this charter tour. Captain Buddy was great . He is very friendly and accommodating. The island is very private and relaxing. Will be booking this again in the future. Thank you very much Bud !

Best day on the water I have had in years. Buddy is the man and we will be back no doubt! Great cruise of the area, took us the the beach with food, ice cream, and drink boats. Legendary

Taking a trip with Captain Buddy is SO MUCH FUN! He is not only a Naples Native- making his knowledge of our town & waterways endless, he is fun, karasmatic and you can tell he loves what he does. Not only have I been on his boat but I refer many people to him with the trust in knowing they will have an unforgettable time!

Captain Buddy was the best guide to show me and my friends around in Naples. He entertained us with his local knowledge and made us laugh with his easy going manner. Im so glad we took this charter and got to see the real Naples from a real local. I highly recommend.

Had an amazing time. Captain brought us to Keewaydin and had a blast. The boat was smooth and everything is brand new and nice. Comfortable for any occasion. The captain is a local and is knowledgeable about the area.

So much fun! Captain Buddy showed us so many hidden spots and was super informative about the wildlife. We had a blast on Keewaydin, he had a cooler and sound system...all we needed for a great day on the water. Thanks Buddy!
