In 1905 Alexandria Graham Bell invented the first prototype Airboat to test airplane motors and props. In the 1930’s and 1940’s Airboats manufactories and airboat tours were introduced in Florida. The pioneers of early years, realized that the only reliable mode of transportation into the backwater, swamps and vast marsh of Florida was by airboat. The name swamp people began to emerge and people from all parts of the world were offered the opportunity to enter into a new frontier.

We are here to continue that quest and offer our guest an opportunity to venture back into that frontier. Our small 6 passenger boats and Native boat captains will entertain you with stories of pioneers, native Indians and of course the critters of the everglades. We pride ourselves in continued effort to promote conservation and by narrating about the everglades throughout your tour. We know you will tell others, why we are the #1 narrated airboat swamp tour in central Florida.

My name is Jim Passmore, known on the pond as Captain Jim.

I have been fishing and guiding since 1973 on Central Florida’s. Lake Toho and Kissimmee chain. While you are on this site, and if you get a hunkering for some great fishing, visit my other site. www.orlandofishing.com.

Many of my Florida years have been spent here in Osceola county. This area is known not only for it's fishing but also has a rather large concentration of bald eagles, along with many other species of birds.  You may also have a chance to see alligators, wild deer, wild hogs, otters, and marsh cows (We call them Lake Cypress manatees).  I have on occasion seen Bob cats, and coyotes.

I offer sunset cruises approximately 1 hr. before and during sunset.  Our Orlando and Central Florida airboat tours take place in the vast wetlands that border the secluded lakes on the Kissimmee chain of lakes.  I would hope to offer you a tour that even I enjoy, not just a ride around a lake but a chance to enter the back country creeks and marshes and possibly even over some cow pastures....(Cow tipping is optional).

My airboat is coast guard approved and tested, licensed and insured. The operation is above board as far as safety is concerned, as long as my guests don't try to pet the alligators or other critters we may encounter on the trip.

I am pretty flexible on the tour route. The weather and water levels play a big part as far as where we can travel and what we might see.

So if you are on holiday or if you live close by I hope you take advantage of this opportunity and come out and experience an airboat adventure.  E-mail me or phone to set up an appointment.

Hope to see ya real soon.
