Airboat transportation

The terrain of Louisiana’s coastal marshes, bayous, and wetlands presents unique transportation challenges that conventional vehicles simply can’t handle. At Stan’s Airboat & Marsh Excavator Service, our airboats are specifically engineered to navigate these demanding environments; providing reliable, efficient transport where roads don’t exist and traditional boats can’t go.

Our rugged Lake predator–style airboats are equipped with powerful engines and custom-designed hulls that glide effortlessly through dense reeds, shallow waters, and submerged obstacles. They can reach speeds of up to 50 mph in open water, while their shallow draft and fan propulsion system allow them to access areas with as little as six inches of water depth. This combination of speed and finesse makes airboats ideal for a wide range of transportation needs in swamps, marshes, rivers, and flooded inland areas.

What We Transport

Personnel & Crews: Whether your field teams are conducting surveys, construction, environmental monitoring, or wildlife research, our airboats offer rapid and direct access; delivering technicians, scientists, and inspectors to remote work zones safely and on time.
Equipment & Supplies: From heavy power tools and fuel drums to construction gear and survey instruments, our vessels can handle bulk and heavy cargo, removing the need for lengthy logistical routes or specialized trailers.
Materials & Small Machinery: We efficiently transport aggregating machinery parts, PVC pipe, fuel containers, communications kits, or spill‑response gear to aquatic work sites; reducing downtime and keeping projects on schedule.
Emergency Transport: When time is critical, such as during hurricane response, rescue operations, or urgent infrastructure repair; our airboat fleet provides an immediate, reliable link between staging areas and affected locations.
