“Incredible Sunset Wedding... on a Seaplane!”

Reviewed February 14, 2013

I MUST thank Julie - she was the best! The concept of planning a wedding, eloping in Key West, was not as easy as I thought it would be as I started a search to do a typical sunset beach wedding, but glad I somehow ended up finding Key West Seaplanes. I don't think a lot of people can say... More

The beauty from the sky of the Florida Keys is something forever changing and forever beautiful and the pilots for Key West Seaplanes will go above and beyond to make sure that you have an incredible trip. They can come pick you up from almost anywhere and whisk you away to any island that you desire (Key West, Islamorada, Little... More

My husband and I live in Key West and recently had my father in law and his wife visit us. We wanted to do something special for my father in law’s birthday so we booked a trip on Key West Seaplanes.

It was our pleasure to be a part of your special family outing from Key West to Little Palm Island for lunch! Yes, we agree that seeing Key West and all of the surrounding islands including the back-country/uninhabited islands on the way over to Little Palm Island and on the return to Key West truly changes one's perspective of the...

“Return trip!!!”

Reviewed February 2, 2013

I decided to charter a seaplane to Little Palm Island during my last visit to Key West. Since this is a return trip to Little Palm I knew that I would not have to worry about making any arrangements myself. From my first phone call to KW Seaplanes I received exemplary service. I dealt with Julie who returned every call... More

“Awesome!”

Reviewed June 22, 2012

It was a real pleasure to see you again and truly enjoyed your flight to Little Palm for dinner as much as you did. Nikali is still talking about the pod of dolphin you saw during the extra aerial sightseeing you all did before heading to Little Palm Island. You sure are becoming a pro at spotting the wildlife in... More

“See the Keys from a seaplane!”

Reviewed January 24, 2013

I happily recommend Key West Seaplanes for an air tour of the keys! Awesome experience! I emailed primarily with co-owner Julie who was a delight. I was unable to access information from my iPhone due to "no service" and we unavoidably arrived to the KW airport late on the morning of our flight. We called as soon as we were... More

“Best connection ever!”

Reviewed December 7, 2012

I surprised my husband with a weekend at Little Palm Island in the Keys, added a bonus to the trip: a connecting flight from the flight in our own plane to the Marathon airport to the Little Palm "seaport". As we're both pilots with our own seaplane ratings, it made an already-great trip perfect thanks to the great service from... More

“Great trip(s)”

Reviewed November 11, 2012

Nikali flew me from Little Palm Island to Key West. I'm a pilot, but not seaplane rated, so he walked me thru everything as he was executing. My wife had the same trip booked the next day and the plane was in-service. He picked her up and helicopter and flew from Little Palm to Key West. Fantastic trips and great... More

“Wonderful!!!”

I bought my husband a seaplane flight for his 50th birthday, and it could not have been better! Smooth takeoff and landing, and takeoff and landing, and takeoff and landing! Yep, two water touchdowns - one a graze and the other an actual stop. So thrilling, especially after the beautiful tour of the island and surrounding Keys. We were given... More

“ADORABLE PEOPLE! GREAT EXPERIENCE! FANTASTIC VIEWS!”

Reviewed October 6, 2012

So we wanted to fly down to the Keys from Miami because we were feeling idle and couldn't be bothered to drive. Happily KW Seaplanes have an arrangement with the old seaplane base just behind South Beach to take off on the water and fly down to the Keys. It was all set, we were on! And then the hurricane...

Thank you for your kind words! We really enjoyed working with you, meeting you and flying you!
