Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, let Sunshine Coast Air get you there with our seaplane charter flights. Our fleet of seaplanes consists of Cessna 180s seating up to 3 passengers and our de Havilland Beavers seating up to 5 passengers. Our seaplane charter flights allow you to access waterfront destinations on the West Coast of BC, including those typically reserved for boat access only.

A seaplane charter allows you to save time driving or taking a boat and flies you directly to waterfront destinations such as cabins, remote resorts, fishing lodges and more. You have the flexibility to book your charter flight based on times that work for you, rather than your travel plans needing to align with scheduled service departure times. Let us customize a West Coast charter flight for you based on where you want to go and when.
