| The boat is a 24’ custom built Carolina Skiff, made for the shallow waters other tours would never dare attempt. That is were you find most wildlife! I field tested this boat hull type for over 2,000 hours in the back country of southwest Florida, waters so shallow only the kayakers would share the experience. A skiff is just what is needed, a flat bottom boat with VERY shallow draft. I didn't stop there! The engine is a four-stroke, low fuel consumption, non- smoking, very quiet high tech wonder and it exceeds the Federal EPA 2006 emission requirements! I went one step farther, I am very concerned about sea grass bed damage and injury to marine animals, so I have equipped the boat with a hydraulic system that will lift and lower the entire engine to ensure the prop is as high out of the water as possible to absolutely minimize any possible damage! |
