Seaplane flight over Miami

Seaplane tour above Miami and Biscayne Bay

This seaplane flight departing from Biscayne Bay, only a few minutes from downtown Miami, allows you to discover the city from a completely different angle. From the base located at 555 NE 15th Street, you board for a one-hour experience that combines a flight over iconic neighborhoods and observation of the coastline. The seaplane takes off directly from the water, which offers a quick transition between taxiing and flight. This initial climb makes it possible to gain altitude above the bay before reaching the urban area.

Flight over Downtown Miami, South Beach, and the islands of the bay

The route follows a path covering the main points of interest in Miami. The seaplane first flies along Cruise Ship Row, making it possible to spot the cruise ships docked at the port, then the flight continues toward Downtown Miami, where the towers of Brickell Avenue, the Adrienne Arsht Performing Arts Center, and the emblematic waterfront buildings stand out. The trajectory then reaches South Beach, known for its Art Deco architecture and beachfront hotels. The flight also includes Star Island, home to several famous residences, and the beaches of Miami Beach up to the Fontainebleau area.

Flight from Miami toward Key Biscayne and marine observation

The pilot then directs the aircraft toward Key Biscayne, an area recognized for its clear waters and natural environment. This part of the flight is ideal for observing sandbars, seagrass beds, and areas where dolphins, rays, and manatees can sometimes be seen near the surface. The flight also allows observation of the southern part of Miami, including the small islands accessible only by boat and the protected areas of the bay. The low altitude permitted for the seaplane makes detailed observation of the coastal area easier.

Return to Biscayne Bay and end of the seaplane flight

The seaplane ends the circuit with a gradual return toward the base, flying once more along the bay to offer a complete view of the Miami skyline. The water landing concludes the session. The flight is private, allowing the pilot to adapt commentary to the passengers to make the experience as interesting as possible.
