“Text or call me and I’ll get you out on the water — I can’t wait to see you out in the swamp!”— Captain Billy, owner & native Everglades guide
Handicap Accessible Airboat Tours for Everyone
At Aces, we believe the wonder of the Everglades shouldn't be out of reach for anyone. Our handicap accessible airboat tours are designed so guests who use a wheelchair, walker or cane, or who simply need a little extra help, can enjoy the same wild alligators, big skies and sawgrass adventure as everyone else. This isn't an afterthought for us. It's a point of real pride.
We've welcomed guests of all abilities aboard, and we've seen firsthand what it means when someone who thought an airboat ride was impossible glides out over the water for the first time. Our native Florida captains take the time to do it right: no rushing, no awkwardness, just patient, respectful help and a whole lot of Everglades magic.
We serve families across Broward County and southern Palm Beach County — Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Tamarac and Boca Raton. With launches right off the Sawgrass Expressway and Loxahatchee Rd, a barrier-free Everglades adventure is closer than you think.
- Wheelchair accessible boarding with hands-on help from our caring crew.

Planning Your Accessible Everglades Tour
The single most important step is simple: call ahead. When you reach out to us at 561-660-2419 before booking, we can learn about your specific needs, talk you through boarding, recommend the best pickup point, and have the right crew and setup ready when you arrive. A quick conversation makes the whole day smoother and worry-free.
Let us know things like whether a guest uses a manual or power wheelchair, how much boarding assistance is helpful, whether a companion will be riding along, and any comfort considerations we should plan around. There's no detail too small. The more we know, the better we can prepare a warm, seamless experience.
- Tell us your needs when you call so we can prepare the right help.
- Bring a companion or caregiver if that makes the day easier and more comfortable.
- Dress for sun and water — a hat, sunscreen and a light layer go a long way.
Looking for a relaxed, scenic outing? Our accessible rides pair perfectly with the wildlife focus of our day airboat tours and Everglades nature tours, or the classic experience on our Everglades airboat tours page.

Wheelchair Accessible Airboat Tours in South Florida
Whether it's a milestone birthday, a family reunion or simply a long-held dream, everyone deserves their day on the water.
Our wheelchair accessible airboat tours have carried grandparents, veterans, guests recovering from injury and adventurers of every kind out into the wild heart of the Everglades. Some come nervous and leave beaming. That transformation, from unsure to unforgettable, is exactly why we do this.
The Everglades, Made Reachable
You'll glide across shallow sawgrass, watch for real alligators sunning on the banks, and take in herons, egrets and turtles going about their day. The airboat does the work, so all you have to do is soak it in. Our captains narrate the ride, point out wildlife and make sure every guest feels included in the adventure from start to finish.
Serving Families Across the Region
From Fort Lauderdale to Weston, Coral Springs to Parkland, Coconut Creek to Boca Raton and beyond, families across Broward County and Palm Beach County choose Aces because we treat accessibility as hospitality. If you have a loved one who has always wanted to see the real Florida up close, we would be honored to make it happen. Call us and let's plan a ride they'll never forget.
