Decided I wanted to pursue getting a private helicopter liscense, went in for a intro flight with Tripp and despite my fear of heights I had a such a great first flight that I committed to turning my intro flight to actually paying for continued flying 3 times a week, i flew with him the very next day also such a skilled pilot , I feel so comfortable with him as my cfi, I can get that helicopter into some scary situations being a new student and he easily corrects it and gives me back the controls to keep practicing, definitely recommend this company if your pursuing Learning how to fly.

Took my Dad on a 30 min cruise for his 70th Birthday! He loved it. Dale was our pilot. He gave us a great tour of the area and made us feel very safeunder his care.

My boyfriend surprisingly took me to this place for our first anniversary. We were greeted by a dog named Kona- she’s so cute and welcoming. Our pilot was absolutely well-training and knowledgeable. He explained every thing for us from the beginning to the end of the tour. He also pinpointed where the dolphins and baby sharks were. He’s friendly and always answered our questions. Unforgettable memories. This business deserved 5 stars.

We just finished a 30 minute tour with Dale as our pilot. I normally get motion sickness and it was pretty windy out today, but Dale did a great job keeping the flight steady while also giving us great commentary. He told us a lot of history from the area and showed us some of the beautiful spots around Sarasota, Lido, Longboat Key, and Bradenton, as well as Holmes Beach. I would highly recommend this company and Dale as a pilot. I got the trip as a birthday present for my wife and she was soooo happy afterwards that she is already talking about coming again.

I would recommend this place to EVERYBODY!! The gentleman were very polite and respectful. My boyfriend was planning to propose to me and had plans to go through another company but they had bailed on him last minute. He contacted Florida Suncoast helicopters and they were able to schedule him within two days. The scenery was BEAUTIFUL and we were able to watch the sunset as he proposed. They even allowed him to bring our own special wine and wine glasses to make the moment that much more perfect. Our pilot was very informative and easy going which made the evening comfortable. We were able to take lots of pictures and record everything. I highly recommend Florida Suncoast helicopters!

Great experience! We took a tour out over Longboat Key and up to Anna Maria. It was a wonderful ride. We saw manatees and dolphins and the most beautiful color of water imaginable. Pilot had a ton of experience and made us very comfortable during the flight.

This was one of the best experiences of my life! Not only was the staff professional, they went out of the way to show me the beauty of Floridas gulf coast! The ride could have been vanilla, but it was real. I cant explain to you what it feels.like to have beachgoers wave to you as you are skimming over the ocean. But it is great! Book these dudes!

Out of all the places that call themselves giving tours out of helicopters, I have to say this is the worst one I have went to so far out of my whole life. I saw with my very own eyes and very own ears Robin verbally attacking a customer which made me not want to come back here ever again. I wish it was possible for me to be able to give them NO stars..

Great people and a great experience!! Mike was our pilot and made the trip really fun but also informational. We only did the 30 minute ride as it was our first time but I would recommend to splurge and go for the 1 hour ride! It was really fun and if you’re looking to do a helicopter ride in the area these guys are the ones you want to go through. They are extremely safe and made me into a helicopter fan for life!

While looking for a different type of birthday gift for my wife I decided on a helicopter tour of Sarasota and its beautiful beaches. Our pilot Trip was a delight and the air-conditioned cockpit was great. Headphones in the cockpit block most of the noise and allow you to communicate with everyone else in the helicopter. We did the half-hour tour but wished we had done the hour. Thanks for making her birthday special.

Great service, awesome experience! Bryan did an excellent job of explaining everything that was going on and pointing out lots of sites on our tour. As locals, this was a very cool way to rediscover some of our favorite coastal areas and find some hidden gems. Definitely planning to do another, longer flight soon.

Very friendly, absolutely professional, excellent pilots...I cant remember the young guy who took me on the flight, He was excellent though and I am going to go back and get my actual license at this place due to it being the perfect all around atmosphere and people.I really enjoyed them I hope to learn to fly with the same guy who I flew with before.A PLUS PLUS PLUSThey were actually willing to let me come and use the flight simulator for free on down time!!!! Great amazing people!

My wife and I decided to do something a little different to bring our stay in Sarasota to a close this winter. We chose to do a helicopter tour and decided on Florida Suncoast Helicopters. Mike was our pilot and did a fantastic job not only flying the aircraft, but also pointing out the sights along the way. Very informative and we could not have been more pleased.

FSH made me feel like I was scammed when I had to give up my money. If my kids werent there and didnt give me the face, I would have walked off a richer man. Besides that, the guy was acting like it was his first time flying which made me very uneasy.

This company should fire their desk worker Robin...She has a terrible attitude and vibe and I would never recommend going here if there are people like her.You have been warned...Do not listen to the fake review lies.They accused me of a local worker when they have no idea who I am. These people are lost. Again stay away from the drama and lies.

To say the least, this is a very unprofessional company and there are a few reasons why I came to my conclusion. The main reason is because it was clearly families present and I could hear a full argument going on between a worker and some guy. I will never return here again.
