Our Captain
Captain Mitch House has been in the airboat tour and tourist attraction industry sense birth. Native to Everglades city Florida where our captain ended up following in the footsteps of his Father Capt Doug and great grandfather Barrel Head House. The pioneer of airboats who built one of the first commercial airboats in 1942. Made from three separate sheets of plywood and a few 2×4′s. Powered with a slant six tank motor and a sawed off prop-jet propeller with no cage. These were primitive work boats. Barrel Head used this as a fishing guide in the Flamingo and Florida Bay areas of the Florida Everglades. This was a great way to gain access to the shallow salt flats of Florida Bay. From this Mitch took tourists charter fishing for snook, reds, trout, tarpon and many other fish species in the now Everglades National Park ecosystem. Later the locals around Everglades City, FL and the south Florida area found these airboats were a great way to travel in the swamplands of the Florida Everglades.
