Meet your Captain
Captain Laz is a seasoned airboat captain with over 15 years of experience navigating the vast and vibrant waters of the Florida Everglades. His journey began with a deep-rooted passion for the outdoors, where he developed an unmatched appreciation for the ecosystem, wildlife, and natural beauty that make South Florida so unique.
Driven by his love for the land and its wildlife, Captain Laz took a leap of faith and branched out to create his own company—South Florida Airboat Tours. His vision is simple yet powerful: to provide authentic, safe, and educational experiences that connect people to the Everglades in a meaningful way.
At the heart of the business is family. Captain Laz proudly runs South Florida Airboat Tours alongside his wife, Shannon, who plays an essential role in operations and guest experience. Their children—son Adrian, and daughters Anaes, Anaiys, and Mikayla—are part of the inspiration behind the business, growing up surrounded by the Everglades and sharing in their parents’ passion for nature and wildlife.
For Captain Laz, this isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy. His mission is to create unforgettable experiences for every guest while teaching others about the importance of preserving the Everglades for future generations.
