The Black Pearl was built by Diamondback Airboats of Cocoa Florida and she is the nicest one around. The Pearl is 18 feet long and 8 feet wide, has a Chevy big block engine with 496 cubic inches and 425 horsepower. The Pearl is equipped with aircraft style intercom headsets so you can ask questions during the tour and the captain can tell you where to look for the gators and other animals during the trip. There is stadium style seating so everyone can see. Everyone gets their own binoculars and self inflating life jackets to use on the tour.
