An
air boat, sometimes spelled as airboat, is a type of watercraft used
for a variety of reasons. If you've ever visited the Florida
Everglades, then you might have seen or rode in one already. This
type of watercraft are powered by large propellers at the end.
Unlike
other types of watercraft, air boats don't need underwater rudders or
blades, a feature that helps it function well even in shallow water
and even access remote areas. As such, air boats are frequently used
for rescue operations during flash floods. For the most part,
however, air boats are used for entertainment purposes like fishing
and cruising on shallow waters.
Some
companies even offer private air boat rides to provide customers the
opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the Everglades. Some
modern air boats are equipped with V8 engines and can reportedly go
for up to a hundred miles per hour. The gush of wind blowing your
hair as you look at the unpretentious beauty of the wetlands can be a
truly invigorating experience. If you're lucky enough, you might even
be able to spot alligators in their natural habitat. Whether for fun
or adventure, you can always rely on air boats.
