Swamps need their own transport, and the fan-driven airboat is it. Modeled on the Panther airboats that run tours through the real Everglades, it showed up in Trailer 1 and official screenshots cutting across marsh grass. The type last appeared in GTA San Andreas and Vice City Stories, so this is a comeback nearly two decades in the making. Expect big speed over shallow water and almost no brakes, which is the authentic airboat experience.
Rockstar has not confirmed how you get one. Since airboats are working vehicles in Florida, the reasonable guess is that they spawn around docks and settlements in the swampy backcountry rather than sitting in a showroom. Treat that as expectation, not confirmed detail.
It was confirmed through Trailer 1 and official screenshots released by Rockstar.
