The package accommodates up to three hunters with personalized attention to your experience level and hunting goals. Booking is straightforward – select your preferred dates online and secure your spot with a deposit. All necessary hunting equipment and safety gear is provided, though you're welcome to bring your preferred firearms (subject to Florida regulations). For the best availability, especially during peak hunting seasons, we recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance.
Florida City's unique position near the Everglades creates ideal hunting conditions throughout much of the year, though seasonal patterns significantly impact game movement. September through February typically offers the most productive hunting, with cooler temperatures improving game activity. The diverse terrain transitions from open wetlands to denser brush, requiring adaptable hunting strategies – which is why we incorporate spot-and-stalk, pass shooting, and jump shooting techniques based on daily conditions. Morning hunts often yield better results as wildlife is more active, though our afternoon sessions can be surprisingly productive when weather patterns shift. First-time hunters should prepare for variable weather conditions – lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing in earth tones works best, and waterproof boots are essential. The region's weather can change quickly, so layering is recommended even during warmer months. Insect repellent is a must-have item year-round.
Your airboat hunting adventure typically begins early, with meetup times around sunrise to capitalize on peak wildlife activity. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before departure to complete paperwork, gear up, and receive a comprehensive safety briefing. The standard hunting trip runs approximately 6-8 hours, though we can customize shorter 4-hour options for those with time constraints. Our hunts are family-friendly and appropriate for beginners when accompanied by more experienced hunters. We provide all necessary safety equipment and basic hunting gear, though you're welcome to bring personal items for comfort. Bring sun protection regardless of season, as Florida's UV index remains high year-round. Morning temperatures can be surprisingly cool during winter months, so a light jacket is recommended even if the afternoon forecast shows warming. Each trip includes transportation by airboat, guide services, and access to our private hunting grounds in the Florida backcountry.
