The Seminole County Airboat Club was established in 2002. Our mission is to promote the love of our sport. Our club is made up of dedicated members that take pride in the preservation of our environment & keeping our waterways clean and safe. We are always accepting new members. You don't need an airboat to join our club. Community support is always welcome. We promote smart & safe riding. Our club has a code of ethics that we abide by.

Club Purposes & Objectives:

To encourage the participation of members as individuals, and as a group, for the enjoyment of airboating.

To forward the development of those characteristics such as honesty, food fellowship, self-discipline, team work, self-reliance, and good public relations which are the essentials of good sportsmanship.

To conserve fish & game and other wildlife in their natural habitat in the State of Florida and to establish a friendly and mutually beneficial relationship between land owners, sportsmen and law enforcement agencies.

To obtain better knowledge on the part of the membership in the safe handling and the proper operation of airboats.

To cooperate in obtaining proper respect for and observation of the fish & game laws and make our boats available to the law enforcement officers of Seminole County, the State Game Commission, and to respond to calls from our rescue units in Seminole County.

The Seminole County Airboat Club meets the 1st Wednesday of each month at the Jolly Gator Fishcamp, the Jolly Gator is located off SR46, behind C.S. Lee Park, on the St. Johns River, 5 miles east of SR 46 in Geneva, FL meetings start at 7:30pm.

           


Airboater's Code of Ethics

  1. I will respect the rights of all users of the recreational waterways of the State of Florida, on public waters and on adjacent private property.
  2. I will be considerate and courteous at public vessel launch ramps and docks. In an effort not to delay others, I will launch and retrieve my vessel promptly.
  3. I will always operate at a safe speed in posted "NO WAKE" zones.
  4. When approaching the shoreline, I will be especially aware of swimmers and other water vessels near the shorelines.
  5. I realize that my  vessel's equipment, ability, weather conditions, and especially other vessel traffic should determine my vessel speed.
  6. In case of an emergency, I will volunteer assistance.
  7. I am aware that my vessel creates air propeller was and will use idle speed near the shoreline and in close proximity to boat launch ramps.
  8. I will ensure that all passengers in my vessel are equipped with safety equipment, including life vests, ear protection, eye protection, and required safety equipment.
  9. I will avoid unnecessary disturbance of wildlife and will not enter posted "NO TRESPASS" areas.
  10. I will pay close attention to the engine sound levels that my vessel may create and be aware of how others on vessels and on the shoreline will react to it.
  11. I will not litter and will bring back all trash. I will be careful in handling my fuel
  12. I will not interfere with or harass others. I realize that people will judge all airboaters by my individual actions.
