Airgator Airboats

AIRGATOR AIRBOAT painted across the rudder of an airboat in the swamp, with AIRBOAT 08 beneath it.

The lettering is on the flat of the rudder behind the propeller cage, in a weathered stencil. AIRGATOR runs across the top, AIRBOAT beneath, and a number below that.

This is the frame that named the Airgator Airboat 09 in our vehicle database — the boat and the operator share a name, and a fleet number on the rudder means there is more than one.

In another frame from the same place a sheriff's airboat sits alongside, so airboats here are both a business and law enforcement transport.

How to recognise it

• AIRGATOR AIRBOAT stencilled across the rudder
• A fleet number beneath the name
• Weathered paint on a flat rudder behind the propeller cage
• A sheriff's airboat alongside in a related frame

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the subject occupies 768 by 389 of it. Also in it: Grassrivers and Airgator Airboat 09.

What we still do not know

• Whether Airgator is a tour operator, a hire company or both
• How large the fleet is
• Whether airboats can be hired in-game
• Where the operation is based in the swamp
