Seaplane Instruction
Personalized seaplane instruction tailored to your flying goals.

Seaplane Rating
Add your ASES (airplane single engine seaplane) rating to your pilot certificate and become a seaplane pilot! We offer training at the sport, private, and commercial certificate levels. Our course includes up to 5 hours of dual instruction, additional hours billed by the hour, with a checkride at the end of the course.

Advanced Training
For rated seaplane pilots, we offer seaplane training personally tailored to your seaplane flying goals. Come knock the rust off or focus on specific techniques such as water work, sailing, beaching, docking, glassy and rough water techniques, and anything else you'd like to train. We also offer flight reviews for already rated ASES pilots.

Intro Flight
Asking yourself if seaplane flying is for you? (we think it definitely is but we might be a little biased!)
Come fly an introductory flight with us and see how you like it. We'll fly for an hour and discuss the basics of seaplane flying. A great way to get your feet wet before committing to the full rating.
