Today, the Kennon family, direct descendands of the Coopers, run the Coopertown ORIGINAL Airboat Tours. The Coopertown Airboat fleet. consists of seven boats in operation, the largest boat with a seating capacity of 24 people. The smaller two-seater has been hired for movie and documentary filming and fashion photo shoots for clients from all over the world.

More than 60 years later, the same exciting airboat tour is given with experienced, well-trained and informative guides. For some, it is a completely new and different experience. For the tourist who come back year after year and the local people who bring their friends and family along, it is always fun and educational.

The Coopertown Guest Book is filled with names of people who have visited our Everglades home from all over the world including many notables and celebrities, such as Dennis Weaver, Doris Day, Bobby Breen, Robert Fuller, Burt Reynolds, Dana Andrews, Clint and Ronnie Howard and their Dad, Rance Howard and Andy White, producer of the series "Gentle Ben". Country singers Ferlin Husky, Slim Whitman and Bobby Lewis. Baseball heroes Micky Mantle and Billy Martin, and football players Jake Scott, Bill Stanfill and Bob Kuechenberg. Other famous names to visit Coopertown include Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell, Mariel Hemingway, Raul Julia and Beverly D'Angelo. We look forward to seeing your name too!

We, the residents of Coopertown, hope you have enjoyed your virtual visit to "Beautiful Downtown Coopertown" and we hope you will come and visit us to see the real thing soon!
