At Peace River Charters, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s the foundation of everything we do. From the moment you step on board one of our airboats or join us for an adventure on the Peace River, you can rest assured that your well-being is in expert hands.
Training Is key
Our commitment to safety starts with our staff. Every team member undergoes rigorous training to ensure they are prepared to handle any situation. Whether they’re navigating Florida’s waterways or welcoming guests on board our airboats, our crew operates with professionalism, care, and safety.
But our dedication to safety doesn’t stop with our team. We believe in empowering the community with the skills and knowledge to enjoy the waterways responsibly. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Airboat Operator Course from January 8-10!
