Three Airboat Pickup Points, One Wild Everglades
One of the best things about riding with Aces Airboat Tours is how close the wild Everglades really is. Our three airboat tour pickup locations all sit on the western edge of the South Florida metro, which means the sawgrass, the alligators and the big open sky are just minutes from home for guests across Broward and Palm Beach County. When you book, simply choose the launch that's most convenient — the ride, the wildlife and the Aces experience are the same at every one.
Below you'll find all three pickup points with the cities each one serves best, plus driving directions from Fort Lauderdale, Weston and Boca Raton. If you're ever unsure which launch to pick, call us at the number on this page and we'll steer you to the easiest one for your neighborhood.

Here's exactly where each launch is, who it's best for, and how to get there from around South Florida.
Stub Canal — Tamarac
Our Stub Canal launch sits in Tamarac, just off the Sawgrass Expressway corridor, making it one of the easiest pickup points for central and western Broward. It's a natural choice for guests coming from Tamarac, Sunrise, Lauderhill and North Lauderdale. From Fort Lauderdale, take I-595 or Commercial Boulevard west to the Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869) and head north — the launch is a short hop off the expressway. From Weston, run the Sawgrass Expressway north and exit toward the Tamarac area. Parking is simple and your captain will meet you right at the water.
Sawgrass Expressway at Atlantic Blvd — Coral Springs / Coconut Creek
This launch sits right off the Sawgrass Expressway at Atlantic Boulevard, which makes it the go-to pickup point for Coral Springs and Coconut Creek guests. If you live anywhere near the Sawgrass, you're practically there already. From Fort Lauderdale, take the Sawgrass Expressway north to the Atlantic Boulevard exit. From Boca Raton, head south on the Sawgrass Expressway and exit at Atlantic Blvd. It's a quick, no-fuss ramp to the wild glades and a favorite for locals who want the shortest possible drive.
The Landing — 15490 Loxahatchee Rd, Parkland, FL 33076
The Landing is our north Broward launch, located at 15490 Loxahatchee Rd in Parkland, FL 33076. It's the most convenient pickup point for Parkland, north Coral Springs, and southern Palm Beach County towns like Boca Raton and Delray Beach. From Boca Raton, head west and south toward Loxahatchee Road — you'll reach The Landing in minutes. From Fort Lauderdale, take the Sawgrass Expressway north toward Parkland, then follow signs to Loxahatchee Rd. This launch puts you right on the doorstep of some of the wildest, most gator-rich water we ride.
