Safety

Since its beginning in 1995 Adventure Seaplanes has maintained an unsurpassed safety record, and strives every day to keep it that way. Pilot and Passenger safety are always the first concern, and we will always do what is in the best interest of those on board our aircraft. Diligent maintenance, training, weight and balance, and weather observation are just a few of the many things our staff does on a daily basis to ensure that your flight is a safe one. All aircraft are equipped with safety gear including life vests, first aid kits, ELTs and fire extinguishers.

Experienced Pilots

Our pilot crew consists of some of the most experienced seaplane pilots in Minnesota. We have a rigorous hiring process that requires a great amount of experience before pilots may be considered for a position at Adventure Seaplanes.

Rigorous Maintenance

Our FAA approved maintenance facility adheres to all the latest safety regulations, ensuring our aircraft are always running at their best. We take aircraft maintenance very seriously and take every effort to go above and beyond the scheduled programs. We want our customers to know that they are flying on the safest aircraft.

“The seaplane tour was unforgettable and so much fun. You are super people and professional. The windows were opened so we could take pictures without the glare!  We saw so many alligators, It was fantastic. We can't wait to do a different tour with them on our next visit to Florida.”

“Thank you to Pilot Brian, his wife and Adventure Seaplanes for the trip/flight of a lifetime for my grandchildren.  Brian was beyond kind and informative during their flight and they loved every second of their flight and the fact they got to "take off" twice from the water and land in the water and the see the ear to ear smiles.” 

Jack, Heather & Henry

“Once you got in the air, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! It is so cool to take off from the water flying over some of the most beautiful scenery we have seen. The experience is most similar to riding a Harley Davidson at 110 MPH and at 1000 feet. Words cannot do the experience justice, do yourself a favor and book a tour with these guys. Thanks again Brian!”

Flying with Adventure Seaplanes was the best experience in my life Brian ,my pilot , really knew what he was doing and I felt very safe and in good hands. My 20 minute experience was the icing on the cake to a day which was beautiful, sunny and clear. I felt like a bird soaring in the sky. AMAZING. Thank you!”
