Private or shared boats for your group?
When you're organizing an outing for 10, 20 or more people, the first question is how to put everyone on the water. There are two ways to do it.
Several private airboats, running together
Your group splits across small private boats that head out at the same time. Everyone gets a front-row view, captains can stop for wildlife and photos, and the day feels like your own event rather than a public tour.
A big shared boat at a large park
Big-park tours put many guests on one large boat on a fixed route. It can cost less per person, but you share the boat with strangers and the route doesn't change.
Which fits your group
- Company outings and client events: private boats keep it about your people.
- Conference side trips: private boats, with transportation from Miami Beach hotels arranged.
- Tight budget, flexible group: a shared option can work.
