Special Events & Private Airboat Tours
Weddings, proposals, milestone birthdays, anniversaries and family reunions deserve more than a restaurant table. Charter a private Aces airboat and mark the moment out in the wild River of Grass — glassy water, golden light, real alligators and a native captain who makes the whole day feel effortless. Everyone gets a front-row seat.
“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
Celebrate in the Wild River of Grass
Some moments are too big for a banquet hall. A special events airboat tour with Aces trades the same old venue for open sawgrass, mirror-still water and a South Florida sky that turns to gold at dusk. Whether you are toasting an anniversary, gathering the family for a reunion or planning a surprise nobody will forget, we build the ride around your celebration — the pace, the timing and the launch that works best for your group.
Because our tours are small and personal, your event never feels like a crowded assembly line. Reserve one of our private airboats and the whole boat is yours: your people, your captain, your moment on the water. No strangers, no schedule but your own. For the biggest gatherings, our 15-passenger group boat keeps everyone together for the whole ride.
- Weddings & proposals — say yes with wild Everglades wilderness as your backdrop.
- Milestone birthdays & anniversaries — a story worth far more than another dinner out.
- Family reunions — grandparents to grandkids, all together on one unforgettable ride.

The Everglades Makes Every Occasion Bigger
Families from Fort Lauderdale, Parkland and Boca Raton book us for the moments that matter. Here is why an airboat charter beats the usual venue.
Private Just for You
Book the whole boat so it is only your group on the water — perfect for proposals, vows and intimate family celebrations.
Front-Row Seat for All
Our airboats seat 2, 8 or 15, and there is no bad seat on any of them. Every guest gets an up-close view of the wild marsh.
Unreal Photos
Golden sawgrass, glassy reflections and real alligators give you engagement, birthday and reunion photos no studio can match.
Native Captains
Born-and-raised Everglades captains who handle every detail so you can just enjoy your day and your people.
Minutes From the City
Real wilderness ten minutes off the Sawgrass Expressway — no long drive across Alligator Alley to reach the celebration.
Any Time of Day
Sunrise proposals, midday birthdays or a romantic golden-hour anniversary — we time your launch to your occasion.
Proposals, Vows & Milestone Moments
Planning to propose? Tell us in advance and your captain will slow the boat at the perfect spot as the light goes gold — we have watched a lot of people say yes out here. Renewing vows or gathering three generations for a reunion? We will keep the whole party together and make sure the grandparents and the little ones all get their front-row view of the gators.
Want to build the celebration into a whole evening? A sunset airboat tour is our most romantic and photogenic ride, ideal for anniversaries and proposals. Prefer full daylight so the kids can see everything? Our day tours are the easy family pick. Not sure which fits your event? Call and we will help you plan it — just pick the closest of our three South Florida pickup points and leave the rest to us.

“I proposed on the sunset charter and it could not have been more perfect. The captain slowed the boat right as the sky lit up, a gator cruised by, and she said yes. Our whole family cried. Best decision ever.”
“Booked the big boat for my mom's 70th and got three generations on the water together. Grandkids to grandparents, everyone had a front-row seat and could not stop talking about the alligators. Way better than another dinner.”
“We did a private tour for our anniversary out of the Parkland landing. Just us, our captain and the wide-open marsh at golden hour. So personal and so beautiful. We are already planning to come back for our next one.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book a private airboat for a special event?
Yes. You can reserve the whole boat so it is just your group on the water — perfect for proposals, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and reunions. Choose a nimble 2-seat boat for an intimate ride or our 15-passenger group boat to keep a big party together. Call 561-660-2419 to plan it.
Can you help with a surprise proposal?
Absolutely — it is one of our favorite things to do. Tell your captain in advance and we will slow the boat at the perfect spot, ideally as the golden-hour light comes in, so you can pop the question with the wild Everglades as your backdrop.
How many people can join a special event tour?
Our airboats seat 2, 8 or 15, and there is no bad seat on any of them. For larger reunions and parties we can put you on the 15-passenger group boat, and for big events we will help coordinate multiple boats. Just tell us your headcount when you book.
What is the best time of day for an event tour?
It depends on the occasion. Sunset is the most romantic and photogenic for proposals and anniversaries, midday daylight is easiest for families with kids, and sunrise is quiet and glass-calm. We time your launch to your event when you book.
Where do special event tours depart from?
From any of our three South Florida pickup points: Stub Canal in Tamarac, the Sawgrass Expressway at Atlantic Blvd, or The Landing at 15490 Loxahatchee Rd in Parkland. Pick whichever is closest to Fort Lauderdale, Parkland or Boca Raton when you book.
