Dear Friends of Beach Buddy Tours,

We are very excited to finally have the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you today!

As you may have heard, Carolyn and John have left Cape Coral to pursue new challenges. We wish them both much success and all the best for the future. We thank them for their excellent service over the past years!

Since the beginning of the year, Beach Buddy Tours has been part of the Vacation in Florida Inc. family. In recent months, we have focused on making the transition as smooth as possible for our customers, repairing minor damages to the boats, and providing a real-time online booking process on our website. Thanks to the many positive feedbacks and excellent reviews, we have successfully met this challenge, which makes us very happy. We are particularly pleased that all the former captains remain part of our team, ensuring the high quality of our tours in the future.

Vacation in Florida Inc. rents out around 1,300 vacation homes in Florida and is headquartered in Cape Coral. Together with our partners, we also offer property management, boat rentals, and a luxury boat club. Additionally, iBoatmap, the route calculator for SWFL, is part of the Vacation in Florida Inc. family.

In the coming weeks, we will be updating our websites to the latest technology and further improving our tour offerings for you.

As a thank you for your trust, we have launched a 10% promotion for all tours. If you wish, you can visit our website at www.beachbuddytours.com and enter your email address into the pop-up window that appears after about 15 seconds. You will then receive our discount code and instructions on how to redeem it.

We very much look forward to hopefully welcoming you personally in Cape Coral soon!

Best regards,
David, Bastian, and the entire team at Vacation in Florida Inc.

New additions to the Etsy shop! Small Oyster Flowers! Great to use as a trinket or ring dish, paperweight or unique gift.

These pretty little flowers sit on top coral or coquina stone.

All are hand made by me from shells I have collected, cleaned, glued into sculptures, hand painted, embellished and sealed.

Which is your favorite? Blue, Red or Yellow?

Are you looking for a fun and unique way to get married or renew your marriage vows?

If so, we have a couple of fantastic option for you!

Captain Carolyn has obtained accreditation from American Marriage Ministries and now has the ability to officiate over your wedding or vow renewal ceremonies!

We've developed 2 options for your small group wedding or wedding vow renewal ceremonies!

We also offer an array of add ons. Please contact us for a current list of those available items.
Option #1:
Private on Board Wedding Ceremony or Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony.

$575

We will take you on a tour of the Cape Coral, Pine Island and Sanibel waters and perform the ceremony of your choice as the sun sits on the Caloosahatchee River.

Your tour begins and ends with a relaxing ride at idle speed through the Cape Coral San Carlos canal to the Caloosahatchee River where we will explore the waters of Shell Creek, Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve, Punta Rassa Cove and the southernmost point on Sanibel Island.

We will stop in the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River to perform the ceremony as the sun begins to set and then begin our trip back to the dock watching as the sun fully sets in the distance.

Although it is not guaranteed, it is typical to see dolphins as well as a wide variety of birds on this tour. Pictures will be taken throughout this tour/event and shared afterwards.

This is a private experience for your party up to 6 in size.

Option #2:

Private Barrier Island Wedding Ceremony or Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony.

$2,275

You'll be the guests of both Captain John & Captain Carolyn for the day! We will take you on a wonderful tour of the waters around Cape Coral, Pine Island, Sanibel and beyond.

After the morning ceremony, you can stay on the beach to relax or look for shells if you like OR we can go to Cabbage Key where you can explore the island or have an early lunch at their popular restaurant.

It is common to see playful dolphins, perhaps a manatee or two and an array of birds while on board.

We will be taking pictures throughout this tour/event and they will be shared afterwards at no extra cost.

You should expect to get your lower body wet as you enter and exit the vessel, typically shin high but dependent on conditions knee to mid thigh deep.
