I Wanna Be An Airboat Captain When I Grow Up!

We just love to take kids on an airboat ride… they say the cutest things!  Yesterday Brande and Ashton took an airboat ride with us – Brande handles all of our promotional products (hats, t-shirts, uniforms, etc.) through Goldner & Associates and Ashton is her 4 year old son. 

 

Here’s the email I received from Brande about their airboat tour:

 

Hi Debi!

Just wanted to say thanks again for the great ride today and share the pics with you!  You guys really do have a special thing going!  Ashton was soooo funny…he says to me as we were leaving….How do you know them? I told him through work…I said that is what they do for work…He replied… That is WORK??? I wanna do that kind of work when I grow up!! Too funny!

Thanks again!

Brande

 

Here’s some pictures of the little airboat captain in the making:

Breathtaking Florida Beauty AND Lots of Fun on an Airboat Ride!

Christine and Leonard took an airboat ride with us yesterday… they drove over from the KOA in Titusville.  They’ve never been to Florida before and were looking for the real deal airboat experience.  Christy said that she was awed by the natural beauty, it felt like being in a movie!

 

But what surprised her most was how much FUN it was to ride in the airboat!  You get the best of everything on an airboat tour – beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, including Florida’s most famous resident, the Alligator, stunning birds of all types, PLUS lots and lots of fun while riding the airboat!

“Wow, the Airboat Ride is Better Than a Theme Park!”

Jenine, Neal and Eleanor from the UK took an airboat ride with us yesterday.  They found us on a UK site about visiting Florida and used the recommendation from some of our previous passengers to choose Spirit of the Swamp!  Here’s the review:

 

We are in Florida at the moment and did http://www.spiritoftheswamp.com last week. Brilliant. We were on the boat for about 2 1/2 hours. Captain Harold took us up lots of small creeks and rivers. We saw gators from 1ft to 10ft long, eagles, turtles and lots of other birds.

They provide drinks and snacks and the boat only takes 6 passengers.

We had done an airboat ride on a previous trip which was good but not as good as this trip.


They would stop/or turn around for any photos we wanted to take. You each have a set of headphones with a mic so you can talk to each other. They also took some group photos of us.
