Private Luxury Boat Charter

Out experience was absolutely amazing. It was a gorgeous day and if we could do it again before we leave we would. I highly recommend to everyone visiting the area.

Captain Aaron was great! We had a lot of fun, and my family loved watching the manatees and dolphins. He was also very accommodating and gave us the best experience. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Capt Aaron was pleasant, personable, and knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Saw dolphin, manatee, and many birds. Boat is comfortable though bathroom is small. Would definitely repeat!

Captain Aaron did an amazing job! We saw a ton of manatees and dolphins as well. He is knowledgeable about the area and local sea life. He was very polite and especially engaged with my friend's 11 year-old grandson. He also took pics and sent them to me. We agreed that we'd do the charter again. Thanks, Captain Aaron!

We had a great time! Captain Aaron was knowledgeable of both the area and wildlife. We got to see manatees and many dolphins! We also had the chance to swim, find shark teeth, and find cool shells. Such a nice memory we will be talking about for a long time!!

I can't express how incredible our time was with Captain Aaron! He very kind and extremely knowledgeable of both the area and wildlife, and ensures everyone is comfortable and happy on board. We got to see wild manatees for the first time ever, and TONS of dolphins! I hope anyone reading this review doesn't hesitate to book immediately because we had the best time and will do this again in a heartbeat, should we find ourselves back in the Gulf again!

Captain Aaron’s 2-hr tour through the keys of Sarasota was fantastic! My husband, our adult daughter and I went on the boat tour. He is knowledgeable of the islands’ history, climate and animal life. We saw many dolphins, manatees and pelicans. His boat is so comfortable and he’s a great captain! Thank you Cap’t Aaron!

We had a great time with Captain Aaron! We saw dolphins, manatees, tons of birds, and had a great tour of the area. He is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and it was a great trip for the family!

Captain Aaron was amazing. He was easy to communicate with before the charter. He had everything set and ready to go the moment we arrived at the dock. The age range of the group was from 5 to 78 years old and he was able to meet all Our needs on the boat and the different spots we went. He was very knowledgeable about the area, both land and water. He took us to an amazing place to find great seashells away from the masses of big tour groups. He’s was very respectful too. One thing I noticed was as we did our things snorkeling, sea shelling he was also finding shells and shark teeth that he gave my 5 year old. Along with that he was very mindful of keeping the environment clean and picked up trash, my daughter even helped as we picked up a balloon in the middle of the water and she got to pop it and throw it away. Overall an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend Captain Aaron.

We had a great time on the water! Captain Aaron was very knowledgeable about the area and super personable. The kids really enjoyed the dolphins sightings! Highly recommend.

Informative, friendly, and the boat ride was superb!

We had a wonderful time on the water with Aaron and saw all kinds of wildlife!! He was wonderful!! Aaron is very kind, knowledgeable, and willing to make your trip the best it can possibly be. We will definitely be booking this excursion again when we are in the area!!

Captain Aaron was fantastic! He found our family of 4 (two kids 4 and 7) over 7 manatees, had dolphins swimming in our wake multiple times, pulled up to the bird island with baby pelicans, and showed us the gorgeous homes. He also taught us a lot about the area. Will definitely be back!

Captain Aaron did a wonderful job for us on our trip. He was very communicative and was determined to get us to see multiple dolphins and manatees during our 2 hour excursion. He was just as excited to see the animals as we were. He is very knowledgeable and made sure we had a good time. Thank you Captain!

Awesome experience. Aaron is great at explaining and making sure his guests are having an enjoyable experience

Our captain was Aaron and he was 1000% the best!!! We booked a 2 hour tour and it was so nice and relaxing. Aaron was very good about explaining things that were around us, nature, wildlife and had a few good jokes. Next time we will book directly through his company instead of on here. If you’re looking for a nice time on the water, this is it!

Captain Aaron was amazing! He knew right where the dolphins would be so we were able to spend a good amount of time watching them hunt and play. The highlight was watching the dolphins surf in our boat wake! We also got to see a few manatees, lots of birds, and really cool houses along the intercoastal and the bay. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We had a great time on our tour. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend this trip highly enough, Captain Aaron was really friendly and informative, and so welcoming and engaging with our 7yr old daughter. We were lucky enough to see dolphins within a few minutes of our boat trip heading out, they jumped and splashed in the wake of the boat and it was so magical to see! We saw a few different manatees popping their noses out of the water, Aaron is so talented at spotting them and getting you close enough to see! Also went to a bird island and saw hundreds of pelicans, amazing! Even got a few local restaurant recommendations too, so glad that we chose to sail with Captain Aaron today! Will cherish the memories made, worth every penny!

Coastal Conch Charters was amazing. Captain Aaron was very knowledgeable on finding dolphins and manatees. We experienced dolphins playing in the wake of the boat and jumping out of the water, it was awesome! He spotted a pack of manatees that we were able to see pretty close as they came up to the surface! This tour was worth it! Aaron was very personable and engaged with us with any questions we had. Don't hesitate to book this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Captain Aaron was an amazing ! He found the dolphins and he even got them to ride our wake. Excellent music and vibe. He was very informative and personable. If I ever go back I’d definitely book with him again.

Captain Aaron was absolutely fantastic! He knew all the best spots, and was able to get the dolphins to follow the boat and put on a show! Highly recommend to anyone interested in an amazing experience!!

aaron was so friendly and accomodating! we were super hopeful to see dolphins and got to see them!

Aaron was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We were lucky enough to see manatees, dolphins and a pink spoonbill!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This boat tour was absolutely amazing! We were lucky enough to see both dolphins and manatees up close, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Aaron was a fantastic guide—super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He shared so many interesting facts and made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a fun and memorable adventure on the water!

This was such a fun boat ride! We brought 2 5 year olds and they loved it. Boat was so clean and comfortable. Aaron was very kind, helpful and a true dolphin whisperer- a great thing to do while we visited Siesta Key!

We booked a 2-hour trip and decided ahead of time to extend it to 3, and I’m so glad we did. Captain Aaron was relaxed, knowledgeable, and great with both the adults and the kids. He kept things moving at just the right pace so it never felt rushed or dragged. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience felt easy from start to finish. Three hours ended up being the sweet spot. If you’re on the fence, go longer. It’s worth it.

What an amazing day with Captain Aaron!. We had dolphins swimming in the wake of our boat and saw manatees up close. We anchored on a sandbar so the kids could go out and look for shells and play on the beach. We all had so much fun.

We had the best time with Aaron. He was nice, knowledgeable, and made sure he exceeded our expectations! 10 out of 10 and we would go again!

My family and I had the best time on our coastal conch charter! I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Florida and we will be doing it again but for even longer on all future trips. We did a three hour morning charter. My kids and wife said it was the best part of the trip. We spent the morning seeing manatees and dolphins close up with Captain Aaron making it so fun getting the dolphins to play and follow us. We ended the charter on a tropical paradise that we would have never been able to find or access without him. He was so kind to our kids and found shark teeth for them as well as really just putting up with all the chaos ;) I could not recommend him more!

We had a great time on our chartered boat with Captain Aaron. He was an awesome tour guide and took us around to see a lot of fun things we wouldn’t have seen on our own. We even had dolphins following the boat for several minutes! He also gave us ideas of places to eat and other things to do while we were in the area.

Great experience! Knowledgeable captain about the area. At the end we had a dolphin playing in the wake of the boat! The captain knew where the dolphins would be which was great. Great excursion and a lot of fun!

The boat was lovely and clean, Captain was outgoing, kind and knowledgable. He was a safe driver too. The kids had a blast, we saw a lot of wildlife and it was a lovely day exploring Casey key, siesta key and Sarasota! Highly recommend! My kids are 12,9 and 4 for reference.

We had an incredible time on Captain Aaron’s boat tour! We are a family of 5 with kids 11, 14, and 17. We all LOVED it and enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know Aaron and learning all the interesting facts about the area and wildlife. The time spent on the sand bar, shelling, exploring the mangroves and paddle boarding was perfect! And to top it off, as we cruising and taking in all the local scenery we had a dolphin following and playing in our wake! We highly recommend this tour. Captain Aaron is knowledgeable, personable, friendly, outgoing and accommodating. 10/10!

We gave this boat tour experience to grandparents for Christmas to do together when we were visiting on spring break. Captain Aaron made it fun for all the ages in our group, from 6 to 67. We will definitely be booking again on our next trip.

Our family of 5 (3 kids under 9) had an awesome experience with Captain Aaron! He shared lots of interesting information about the area and wildlife. He spotted dolphins and a manatee too! He was great with the kids and we would highly recommend this tour!

We did a boat trip with Caption Aaron yesterday and we had the absolute best time. Caption Aaron made us feel very welcome and super friendly. He is very knowledgeable in the wildlife and surrounding areas. Always had interesting things to talk about. The cherry on top was watching the dolphins play in the wake of the boat .We were so lucky for the amount of time the dolphins spent so close to the boot. The best activity we did on our 2 weeks vacation.

Five of us sat comfortably on Captain Aaron’s amazing boat. Captain Aaron was very energetic and knowledgeable. He took the time for us to watch the dolphins and manatees having fun in their environment. We loved cruising all around, making wonderful memories. Highly recommend.

My family of five did the four hour charter with Captain Aaron and it was so fun! This is our second tour with him and he does such Ana amazing job of teaching and making the tours so fun for the kids. We got out on the beach at Midnight pass where he hunted sharks teeth and paddle boarded with the kids (10, 9 and 6) and took us to see tons of dolphins and bird island. Aaron is so incredible at leading these tours and is a joy to be around. My husband and I I left knowing that this will now be an annual tradition!

aptain Aaron was absolutely fantastic! We had a beautiful family day out on the water and were treated to an unforgettable experience watching dolphins swim right alongside the boat. Somehow, he managed to keep them with us for quite a while—it was truly amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its history, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The boat was spotless, and Captain Aaron was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout. We will definitely be booking with him again!

Family of four (all adults) really enjoyed the relaxing boat trip around the Sarasota area. Capt. Aaron was an excellent boat captain, and also gave plenty of interesting info about the area, its homes, birds, and more.

Recently went on a sunset charter with Captain Aaron and his first mate Sarala and my experience was unlike anything i’ve ever experienced! This was my first time bringing friends down to Siesta Key and they were absolutely blown away. From the moment we arrived at the dock, we were greeted by a beautiful vessel with a very welcoming crew. We started the cruise and Aaron and Sarala immediately began making us feel at home. Being local to the area, they were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the beautiful architecture surrounding my the area! We ended up seeing dolphins, manatees, spoonbills and so much other amazing wildlife! You can easily tell they’re running boat tours because they really love what they do. After an amazing tour, they gave us some amazing suggestions for other things to do in the area and ended up taking us to Marina Jacks on Sarasota Bay for a wonderful dinner. We actually ended up inviting both of them to dinner because we loved their energy so much! We will definitely be booking with Coastal Conch again!!

My kids and I had the best time with Captain Aaron! Took us around to some fun places to see some Florida -Water Wild Life, had dolphins chasing and jumping behind us on a few occasions then we went to a pretty neat spot to enjoy some water activities. This literally made our trip and was such a great experience for us!

This exceeded our expectations. Capt. Aaron was kind and knowledgeable. He made sure we were comfortable and took his time to make sure we got the most out of the experience by pointing out highlights along the route. We were able to see manatee, dolphins, roseate spoonbill and more. Highly recommend!

It was OK. The boat was very clean but older looking. Seats were wearng on the seams etc. Drew was good at navigating the boat. We just didn't see or hear that many interesting things along the way. The best part was visiting bird island.

We had an awesome time with Captain Aaron and Captain Drew. We had a group of four adults and the excursion was fun, interesting and exciting. During our cruise, we had the chance to see dolphins up close and “showing off “for us. This was an excursion We will always remember. Thank you, Captain Aaron!

We are so happy that we chose this cruise to go on as Captain Drew was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The boat was comfortable for the 5 of us, Drew had some refreshments and was careful to keep us all dry during the ride. We had a blast and I would highly recommend this cruise experience!! Ask for Drew!

Wonderful afternoon on the water with Capt Drew! Beautiful boat and great commentary as we boated around Sarasota and Siesta Key. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Our family had the most wonderful afternoon on captain Aaron’s boat. He’s obviously very experienced on the water and everything about the trip felt professional and very safe. He gave us a wonderful tour of the area, highlighting beautiful homes, a bird refuge island, and even found dolphins! He was able to get a playful mother and baby dolphin to follow our boat, jumping in and out of the wake. It was absolutely magical! Also, Aaron is just a very nice guy, and gave us excellent tips for restaurants and things to do in the area. I HIGHLY recommend this trip! One of the best experiences I’ve ever booked through TripAdvisor. If Aaron is available, you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful boat ride with Captain Aaron! Had a great time out on the water.
