THE DUCKS

Miami Duck Tours uses custom made state-of-the-art amphibious vehicles called a "Hydra Terra." Each and every vehicle is a U.S. Coast Guard approved "T" vessel as well as a certified passenger vehicle for use on the roadways.

These vehicles have revolutionary positive buoyancy foam filled compartments making these vessels virtually unsinkable. These vessels will remain afloat even with the drain plugs removed and full engine room flooding.

The Hydra Terra is 39' long and 8' feet wide and has a seating capacity of 45-49 passengers. The vehicles are powered by a 300hp 7.2 litre Caterpillar Diesel Engine, electronic steering, Allison heavy-duty transmission.

On land, they can travel up to 65 miles per hour and require drivers to hold a Class "A" or "B" CLD License issued by the Florida Department of Transportation.   By sea, the Hydra-Terra travels at 6 knots and must be operated by a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain.

The vehicles are equipped with adult and children life preservers as well as fire extinguishers per requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard.
