FTW in the British Virgin Islands

This February, Fly The Whale became the first amphibious seaplane operator to land in the waters of the North Sound in Virgin Gorda. We are thrilled to introduce new routes from San Juan, St. Thomas and Antigua directly to the BVI. Whale Force One is enjoying its time in paradise too! These are some "behind the scenes" photos from our shoot on the water. Special thanks to all of our North Sound friends who made this such an excellent day...and captured it on film!!

FTW moved south for the winter!!! We packed up the seaplane and repositioned it to southern Florida, where we will be running back and forth from Fort Lauderdale and Miami to Abaco, Bimini, and other Bahamian Islands. Above are some pictures of our voyage south and of our new home base.
