The owner told NBC6 that airboats in that area all run in the same direction, and that the private boat was traveling the wrong way before colliding with the airboat tour.
A man on the private boat was ejected and later underwent surgery, while a family on the airboat tour sustained no injuries, the owner added.
The official cause of the crash has not been released.
