15-yr Established Florida Seaplane Tour, Training & Charter Company

**A Rare Opportunity to Soar - Turn-Key Operation & Seeking Passionate Leader or Buyer**
**For Sale/Partnership: Direct from Owner**

Imagine owning a business that allows you to blend the thrill of flight with the beauty of Florida’s breathtaking lakes and skies. For over 15 years, this well renowned seaplane tour, training, and charter company has been delighting adventurers, training pilots, and connecting with the community in a way few businesses ever do. This is more than just a business—it’s a legacy of exploration, freedom, and unforgettable memories.

**Why This Business is Truly Unique**
Established in 2010, this company holds exclusive commercial rights under a 15-year lease, offering unparalleled opportunities in “America’s Seaplane City". With six well-maintained aircraft, a team of six-to-eight pilots, full-time A&P/I.A mechanic, and a newly renovated office featuring a retail gift shop and pilot training offices, this is a turn-key operation primed for continued growth.

The infrastructure includes:
A private hangar at Leesburg International Airport
A mobile maintenance truck stocked with all parts and tools required to keep the company’s fleet in tip-top condition, as well as growth opportunity by providing outside maintenance.
A well polished team, ready to welcome a new leader with vision and drive.
An incredible busy waterfront location, celebrated by locals and visitors alike and great symbiotic relationship with the city and county.


**What I’m Looking For**
The company’s recent restructuring during the pandemic has positioned it for exponential growth, but it needs the right person at the helm to unlock its full potential. As the current owner, I am deeply passionate about this business, but personal commitments to other ventures (and living two hours away) prevent me from providing the daily hands-on leadership it deserves. That’s why I’m seeking a senior partner (51% or greater buy-in) or a buyer ready to take over as Operations Manager/COO, committing to being actively involved in daily operations.

I’m not looking for passive investors—this business thrives on personal connection and active leadership. While aviation experience is a plus, it’s not a requirement. What matters most is a passion for building relationships, growing a business, and immersing yourself in the rewarding seaplane lifestyle. I’m ready to share 16+ years of invaluable insights to ensure your success.

**What You’ll Gain**
Owning and running a seaplane company is more than a career—it’s a lifestyle. Imagine a workday filled with the roar of engines, the serenity of takeoffs and landings on shimmering water, and the smiles of passengers who just had the experience of a lifetime. It’s laid-back, fun, and endlessly rewarding.

This opportunity isn’t just about profits (though they’re strong); it’s about being part of something extraordinary. Being able to stroll into “work” wearing flip-flips is just the icing on the cake.

**Flexible Sale/Partnership Terms**
- Open to creative partnership structures or outright purchase.
- Commitment to a smooth transition, including my active involvement for at least one year post-sale.
- Cash-in-hand buyers only, please.

**Who Should Inquire?**
This is for the dreamers who want more out of life and business. If you’re ready to lead, innovate, and grow something truly special, this opportunity is calling your name. Aviation experience helps, but the true requirement is passion, drive, and the willingness to embrace the excitement of running a seaplane company.

**Serious inquiries only.** Reach out via this platform to learn more. No phone calls, emails, or walk-ins, please.
