Unbridled Yacht Charters

Our Location

We are located on Main Street in Fort Myers Beach which allows us a quick scenic 15-minute ride through Matanzas Harbor into the Gulf of Mexico. Friendly Waves Yacht Charters provides a spaciously appointed luxury yacht with a retired Merchant Marine officer as captain and crew experienced in safe operations and hospitality to assure a pleasurable excursion.

About the Yacht

The beautiful 64 Foot Horizon Sport Yacht “Unbridled” can comfortably accommodate 12 guests for day charters and 4 – 6 guests for overnights.

The enclosed fly bridge is likely to be your favorite spot while on your cruise as you can look out over the beautiful waterways and natural habitats of marine wildlife. As you make your way to the bow’s sun pad to work on your tan, you will notice the beefy railings and wide walkways! If you want to hop on the beach, a tender will take you from the ship to the shore on our longer 6 or 8 hour scheduled trips.

Inside you will see a rich cherry wood interior and carpeting throughout making this yacht feel cozy yet high end. The main deck hosts the galley with refrigerator, double freezers, and table with seating, while the salon area is equipped with a spacious and comfortable sofa arrangement complete with coffee table and foot stools, a smart TV, stereo with Bluetooth, and an ice maker.

“Unbridled” also has a covered stern deck fitted with cushioned bench seating and table with slider door access to the salon area, or walk through to a bow lounger area. The large high railed teak swim platform area is convenient for water sport and swim activities.

Our Pricing and What we Provide

    • Our day excursion pricing is all inclusive except for a booking fee.
    • These rates include fuel costs which are based on a vessel speed of 11 knots or 12.6 mph. Should the charterer desire to operate at a higher speed, a surcharge will be added to the cost. For example, operating at 17 knots instead of 11 knots, would require an additional charge of $550 on a 4-hour trip, $700 on a 6-hour trip and $850 on an 8-hour trip.
    • We provide complimentary ice water. Food and Drink is the responsibility of the charterer. No Red Wine Allowed. Our recommended choice of food provisions is Parrot Key Restaurant located at Salty Sam’s Marina, Fort Myers Beach
