Our Commitment To Your Safety
Key West Seaplanes is a legal and insured FAA-licensed aircraft charter business. This means our aircrafts, mechanics and pilots have met the strictest guidelines and requirements the FAA has set forth for aviation companies that provide charter services ( flying paying passengers from point A to point B ) as well as aerial tours.

We suggest when you are inquiring of any company about aircraft charters that you specifically ask if the company owns a "135 certificate". Any legal and responsible air charter service should answer this question with a proud "YES!"

Key West Seaplanes is proud to declare that we have met the FAA's stringent requirements to qualify as a 135 operation and we do own a 135 certificate. Our continued requirements to maintain this status of excellence include the FAA's highest level of routine maintenance of our aircrafts, documentation of such, continued interaction with our FAA representatives as well as FAA monitoring of all aspects of our flight operations. This includes but is not limited to routine, random drug testing of all pilots and mechanics.

Key West Seaplanes, its pilots and all staff are here to provide you with a safe and enjoyable flight.
