Any recommendations for Airboat ride whilst staying Naples?

Hi dibbers

So so excited... only 5 days to go
This trip we are planning on staying in Naples for a few days before moving on up the Gulf Coast to Anna Marie Island. However, husband & kids (DS 14 & DD12) really wanting to do an Airboat ride around/near Everglades. TBH i'm not that up for it but does seem daft not to do something like this when staying so close to the everglades & might never get the opportunity too again.
I have tried doing a bit of searching on the internet for sites that do this but wondering if anyone has any recommendations. We arrive in Naples on the Saturday afternoon, so husband wanting to drive somewhere on the Sunday if not to far away from Naples.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

We went with Corey Billie's 2 years ago and it was good fun. Not too far south down the US41 just after the Marco Island turn off.

Hi we fly tomorrow Road trip including few nights at Naples.
Likewise DH requested airboat trip so after looking at tripadvisor, I've contacted Speedys airboat tours, Everglades City.
They sound good and suggest we need to reserve day or 2 before

We did one last week. We went with Captain Jacks, in Everglades City, we did the Mangrove tour, which the kids really enjoyed and we managed to see two Gators! I phoned in the morning to reserve a place for the afternoon. X

We have used Wootens, which also seems to be named Captain Jacks. It was brilliant. You can also go on a swamp buggy tour and they also have live alligator shows. Make sure you take lots of insect repellant for the Everglades!
