Looking for a Multi-engine sea plane..

[Tram]

Hey guys-

Anyone know any decent charter operations that will beach a seaplane, on a beach and actually land in the ocean?

I've talked to several who do not put their airplanes actually into the ocean, but only on lakes, rivers, etc..

I am looking for something in Florida, preferably..

Thanks

Jeff

Yeh, that's the only one I've found so far..

I'm sure the cost of a Turbine Mallard would be prohibitive for what I am looking for..

Me and the finace' are getting married on the beach and I was going to try and find something that could beach itself, pick up up and then fly us "away." Neat idea - I think - just not very plausible..

go to www.seaplanes.org (Seaplane Pilots Associaton) look in the training section under schools. There seem to be a few guys that have Widgeons--maybe you could rent the pilot and plane for the right price

Also try the Air Charter Guide.

why does it have to be a twin? There are any number of single engine seaplanes which are quite capable of picking up you and your wife.

Yeah, but you don't have the romance of being picked up Howard Hughes style...

Here's one wedding with a dramatic, exotic departure which didn't go as planned:
