Captain Chad Rocks at Spotting Gators from the Airboat!

Captain Chad: The Gator-Spotting Legend of Lake Panasoffkee 🐊

At Tom & Jerry’s Airboat Rides, we believe every tour should come with a little thrill, a little laughter, and a lot of alligators—and nobody delivers that combo better than Captain Chad.

If you’ve been lucky enough to hop aboard one of our bright red airboats and hear someone yell, “There’s a gator at 2 o’clock!”, chances are it came from the man, the myth, the mosquito-dodging machine himself—Captain Chad.

Coast Guard Certified, Florida Born

Captain Chad isn’t just a tour guide—he’s a licensed, Coast Guard certified airboat wrangler who has spent more time in the backwaters of Florida than most gators themselves. Born and raised in the Sunshine State, he knows every cypress, cattail, and hidden gator nest in Lake Panasoffkee like the back of his hand.

Gator Whispers & Dad Jokes Galore

What sets Captain Chad apart? Besides his signature shades and deep knowledge of local wildlife, it’s the experience he creates. Kids adore him. Adults laugh out loud at his swamp-sized dad jokes. And gators? Well, let’s just say they come out when Chad calls.

Whether it’s pointing out a rare bird mid-flight, coaxing a baby gator out from the shallows, or cracking a one-liner that makes Grandma giggle, Captain Chad turns your average airboat ride into a story you’ll retell for years.
