Steve Brodie made three appearances as Captain Andy Benson; Dan Chandler was cast twice as Vail's sidekick, airboat guide Pete Hammond. Future film star Burt Reynolds appeared twice as Lew Johnson and once as Trask. Guest stars included R.G. Armstrong, Victor Buono, Roger C. Carmel, Paul Carr, Jack Cassidy, Lonny Chapman, John Doucette, Penny Edwards, Frank Ferguson, Luke Halpin, Douglas Kennedy, Robert Knapp, Paul Lambert, Tyler McVey, Mala Powers, Chris Robinson, Johnny Seven, Ray Teal, Bill Travers, and Dawn Wells.
