Annually, Gulf Shore Life Magazine surveys the SWFL community to vote on their favorite businesses in multiple categories ranging from restaurants and entertainment to sightseeing tours and shops. It comes as no surprise that multiple of the Hoffmann Family of Companies took home Gold and Finalist in this year’s voting.
Of the 19 Florida based companies and 27 brands owned by the Hoffmann Family, 14 companies provide services in the categories awarded, and 7 companies in total made this extraordinary list bringing in a total of 9 awards (5 wins and 4 finalist), showcasing the Hoffmann Standard of Excellence and why founder, David Hoffmann, chose to acquire and invest in such businesses.
“It’s amazing to see so many of our companies make the list. It makes me proud to be involved with them and confirms why we chose to come to SWFL.”
On the list of winners & finalist:
- Kaleidoscope Floral – Collier County’s Best Flower Shop

Level up your Gulf experience with this sleek cat sailing out of Port O Call Marina
Additionally, Gulf Shore Life highlighted the Miss Naples, a custom 48’ sailing catamaran and sister ship of the Naples Princess. “Level up your Gulf experience with this sleek cat sailing out of Port O Call Marina” they say on page 62. The Hoffmann owned boat went through a two and a half month, $250,000 renovation to bring it up to the Hoffmann Standard before setting sail on the Gulf, offering daily sightseeing and shelling excursions. “Nothing beats seeing the sail being raised, shutting the engines off and just relaxing as you cruise the Gulf of Mexico in luxury,” Jenny Gazella, President of the Naples Princess & Miss Naples says. “Everything looks better from the water.”
