A Versatile Airboat Fleet for Every Group

No two groups are the same, so we don't run a one-size-fits-all boat. The Aces airboat fleet is seven boats deep and purpose-built to match your crew to the perfect ride. Want a private, up-close, adrenaline-friendly run deep into the narrow sawgrass trails? Our nimble 2-passenger boats are made for it. Bringing the whole family? Our roomy 8-passenger airboats give everyone a front-row seat. Planning a birthday, reunion, church group or corporate outing? Our 15-passenger group boat keeps the entire party together on one deck.

Every boat in the fleet is maintained to a high standard and captained by a born-and-raised Florida local who knows exactly where the wild alligators hold along the western edge of Broward and Palm Beach County. Whether you launch from Tamarac, off the Sawgrass Expressway, or from The Landing in Parkland, you'll ride the same wild, gator-filled Everglades — just on the boat that fits your group best.

  • Two 8-passenger airboats — spacious and family-perfect.
  • Four 2-passenger airboats — private, agile and adventurous.
  • One 15-passenger group boat — ideal for large parties and events.

Why Smaller Is Better

Everyone Gets A Front-Row Seat

Some of the other Everglades airboat companies run giant 25-seat boats. They look impressive on the dock, but here's what they don't tell you: if you or your child ends up in the middle row, middle seat, you can barely see the water. You spend the whole tour looking at the back of someone's head instead of the alligator gliding right past the hull.

We built our fleet around the opposite idea. Our smaller 2-seat and 8-seat airboats mean there is no bad seat on the boat — every guest gets a genuine front-row view of the wildlife, the sawgrass and the wide-open glades. You'll see the gators up close, feel the spray, and actually experience the Everglades instead of watching it over a stranger's shoulder. Smaller boat, far bigger experience.

  • No middle seats, no bad views — everyone rides front-row
  • Smaller boats reach narrow trails the 25-seaters can't
  • Up-close wildlife, not a view over someone's shoulder
  • A personal tour with your captain, never a cattle-call

Safety & Comfort

Every Boat Is Safe, Stable and Ready

A great airboat ride starts with a boat you can trust. Every vessel in the Aces fleet is inspected and maintained to a high standard, run with USCG-minded practices by captains who put their own families on these decks. Before you leave the dock you'll get a clear safety briefing and hearing protection, because airboat engines are loud and we want your ears as happy as your camera roll.

  • Stable, low-profile hulls that glide over sawgrass and shallow water with confidence.
  • Hearing protection provided for every guest on every boat.
  • Comfortable stadium-style seating so everyone gets a clear view of the wildlife.
  • Well-maintained engines and captains trained to handle the glades in all conditions.

All ages ride comfortably — from toddlers to grandparents. If anyone in your party has mobility needs, ask us about our accessible airboat tours and we'll help make boarding easy.

The Aces Standard

Clean Boats, Strict Maintenance & Safety First

The airboat is the whole experience — so we hold ours to a standard most Everglades operators don't talk about. Here's what that means for your ride.

01

Safety Is Priority #1

Every decision starts with safety. You get a full pre-ride briefing, hearing protection and a captain trained to read the water, wildlife and weather. If conditions aren't right, we'll reschedule before we ever take a chance with your family.

02

Strict Maintenance Schedule

Our airboats run on a disciplined mechanical and inspection routine — engines, props, rigging, fuel systems and safety equipment are checked and serviced on a set schedule, not just when something goes wrong. A reliable boat is a safe boat.

03

Spotless, Well-Kept Boats

Every airboat is cleaned between rides, so you step onto a fresh, cared-for boat every single time. No grime, no mess — just a comfortable deck and a ride you'll actually want to photograph.

04

Safety Gear On Every Ride

Hearing protection for every guest, life jackets on board, and stable, low-profile hulls purpose-built for the shallow Everglades. Comfort and protection come standard in every seat.

05

Experienced Native Captains

Our captains grew up running these waters and treat every boat like their own — because it is. Real skill, calm judgment and deep local knowledge on every trip.

06

Small Boats, Closer Care

Because we run smaller airboats instead of 25-seat barges, your captain keeps real eyes on every guest. No cattle-call crowds, no one lost in the shuffle — just attentive, personal care.
