USCG Master Captain Zach Carroll  Florida Outdoor Guide

Raised By Water is my small contribution to sharing Florida’s wild beauty with everyone, and I hope the experiences we create on the water leave a lasting impression that helps protect the nature I love most. I’m committed to safe, respectful, and most of all FUN tours that connect guests with Florida’s unique ecosystems.



Hi, I’m Captain Zach Carroll and I’m excited to welcome you aboard my private airboat tours! Growing up in Florida, I’ve spent a lifetime exploring the state’s wild waterways — bass fishing, hunting, and discovering the natural beauty of Florida’s untamed landscape.


Before starting my own airboat tour business, I worked with other companies and spent years as a bass fishing guide, sharing my love and knowledge of Florida’s outdoors with visitors from all over. That experience taught me how to create memorable, engaging adventures tailored to every guest’s interests.


Now, I combine my passion for the great outdoors, deep local knowledge, and guiding experience to offer private airboat tours that bring you closer to the wild heart of Florida. Whether you’re here for the first time or you’re a longtime nature lover, I’m committed to providing a safe, fun, and truly authentic Florida experience.


Let’s explore the wild side of Florida together!
