CAPT. BOB’S AIRBOAT
ADVENTURE TOURS
Blue Cypress Recreation Area
CR 512, Lake Garcia, Vero Beach
633.7849

The airboat is full, the excitement is building — and
with a roar, the boat takes off through the marsh in the
Blue Cypress Recreation area west of Vero Beach. But
passengers needn’t fear they can’t hear the descriptive
narration Capt. Bob is providing — they’re wearing
helicopter headphones, designed to cut the noise and pipe
the speech right into their ears. He got the headphones for
the comfort of his passengers, he says. They help to make
his tours a favorite among our readers. “When we go out
we tell them this is your tour, it’s all about them,” he says.
Capt. Bob Montuoro was a firefighter in Indian River County
for 31 years with the rank of lieutenant EMT and holds a
Coast Guard license. Keeping his passengers safe is his top
priority, he says. After that comes making sure they have a
great time. He’ll talk about alligators from egg to the end of
their lifespan. He points out ospreys and other wildlife that
might not be noticed without an experienced guide. Word
travels fast and Capt. Bob finds that he gets a lot of repeat
customers along with new ones. No tour is exactly like any
other. There’s always something new to see, he says.
