Meet Your Captains!
At Wild Gator Airboating Adventures, no two rides are ever the same. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter tours. Every trip is shaped around you. Your comfort level, your curiosity, and what YOU want to experience. Whether it’s heart pounding excitement, peaceful wildlife watching, or learning the stories of Lake Pierce, your ride is built just for you.
We are so excited to introduce our amazing captains who make that happen:
Captain Justin:
With 30 years of airboating under his belt, Captain Justin is a 5th generation Florida native who truly lives and breathes the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, observing wildlife, this isn’t just his job, it’s his life. He spends nearly every day on the water, constantly learning, watching, and understanding the ecosystem so he can share it with his guests.
His trips are interactive, educational, and deeply personal. From marriage proposals to ash scatterings, Captain Justin believes every ride should mean something. Safety always comes first, fun is a very close second, and by the end of the trip, guests feel less like customers and more like family.
Captain Slade:
Captain Slade has always been drawn to the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and spending time on the water have been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. Just as important to him is helping people and making sure everyone around him feels comfortable, included, and cared for.
Captain Slade’s love for airboating was sparked by witnessing the passion and freedom Captain Justin shared with him that comes with life on the water. What drives him most is sharing moments many people never get to experience, the captivating glide across the water, birds flying alongside the boat, and gators approached with respect and care.
He’s all about education, connection, and appreciation for Florida’s incredible ecosystem. Captain Slade wants guests to leave not just with photos, but with stories, knowledge, and a deeper respect for the wildlife we’re lucky enough to share this place with.
This isn’t just an airboat ride.
It’s personal. It’s respectful. It’s unforgettable.
And we can’t wait to welcome you aboard
