    Review summary

    5.0
    Excellent
    271 reviews•Google Maps

    Visitors consistently rave about the seaplane experience here, with many calling it the highlight of their Florida trip. The pilots get special mention throughout reviews—Joan, John, Paul, and Evan are all praised by name for being knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled at pointing out local landmarks during flights. Rachel in the office also earns recognition for excellent communication and a warm welcome that sets the tone before you even take off. What really stands out is the dual appeal: tourists love the scenic tours over the Harris Chain of lakes and surrounding area (one visitor even got to circle their house!), while those seeking seaplane certification consistently praise the professional yet relaxed training environment. Multiple people specifically chose this provider for their commercial seaplane add-on rating and felt it was an excellent decision. The staff's flexibility and attention to detail—from helping with weight conversions to letting kids briefly take the controls—shows they genuinely care about creating memorable experiences. Whether you're celebrating a 72nd birthday or giving grandkids their first small plane adventure, the consensus is clear: this is an operation that delivers exceptional service.
