Miami Seaplane Tours had its genesis...
... in 1995 as Fun Flight Miami with a very humble beginning that consisted of a very passionate seaplane pilot, one Ultralight, and the desire to fly the South Florida waters. Settling on an easily accessible area at Key Biscayne, the business was born and after a few years the business became Ultralight Adventures, with the mission of training a growing number of ultralight enthusiasts as pilots.
At the turn of the new century, there were several factors that seemed to converge, causing us to rethink the business model after finding that more people wanted to go on our Miami air tours to see the skyline of Miami, Miami sunsets, and the pristine waters of Biscayne Bay, South Beach and other popular landmarks. And while they loved the open-cockpit experience of our ultralights, we could only fly one passenger at a time.
In 2004, the regulations for Ultralight Training Airplanes changed dramatically. The aircraft trainers we built and used to train pilots now needed to be factory built to meet ASTM standards. This resulted in a variety of changes in everything from licensing to maintenance and training. With this as a catalyst, a new direction was in need: One that would entail a broader scope - a new business devoted primarily to aerial tours. After much research and investigation, the decision was made to utilize the Cessna 172 Skyhawk seaplane because of its payload capacity and superior fuel efficiency. In 2005, the Miami Seaplane Tours name was acquired as well as the new image that we are so familiar with today.
Late in 2011, Miami Seaplane Tours was granted its FAA 135 Certificate as an air carrier operator. Opening up a new world of opportunities. The company now offers private charter flights throughout South Florida and the Bahamas.
Our focus is always on the customer’s experience, while delivering the highest level of safety. The new air carrier certificate spun a new type of personalized service that included
