How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Derrick Lockhart loves the outdoors especially being on the river. Born and raised in Florida, he has always surrounded himself around water. Avid hunter and fisherman and definitely love being on an airboat
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We love what we do. Our boats are custom design by the owner. The one thing that Derrick wanted to make sure when it came to designing the boats is that he wanted to make sure no matter where you sit, everyone will have a great seat. Also, he wanted to make sure that the boat was equipped with voice activating head sets. We didn't want to shut the boats down if we wanted to be engaging with the customers. Being on the St. Johns River is very serene and beautiful. We love telling people the history of the river but also showing people the wildlife in there natural habitat.
