Spirit of the Swamp operates a beautiful state-of-the-art 8 passenger Panther Airboat. And yes, this is the actual airboat you will be riding in. We only mention this to you to point out that many other airboat web sites may feature 6 passenger private airboat photos but when you arrive for your tour they will put you on a large impersonal 20 passenger “pontoon type” airboat. Our airboat has the latest technology, including 24 powerful counter rotating blades, a 8100 Chevy V-8 Racing Engine, voice activated talk-around headsets, global positioning navigation, and XM radio with CD player.
