Before You Book

Lake Panasoffkee Questions

Why choose Lake Panasoffkee?
It’s the quiet one — 4,460 acres of spring-fed natural lake with a fraction of the boat traffic of better-known waters. If you want wild Florida without an audience, this is your launch.
Is the fishing really that good?
Panasoffkee is famous among Florida anglers for shellcracker and bass. Ask about pairing your airboat ride with a fishing-focused trip.
What does the Panasoffkee tour cost?
Same pricing as every All Out inland location: Wildlife Tour $50/person (1 hr), Sunset Photography $75/person (2 hrs), Alligator Tracking $95/person (2 hrs), Island BBQ $175/person (3–8 hrs), private charters from $500. Book online at aowefl.com/booking.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes — ages 5 and up ride with us. Child-sized life jackets and hearing protection are provided, and the 1-hour Wildlife Tour is the perfect first airboat ride for younger guests.
When should I book?
Tours run by reservation, 7 days a week. Weekends and sunset slots fill first — book a few days ahead, or call/text 352-587-3422 for same-day availability.
