SOAR HIGH

In 2010, Tavares opened a seaplane base and dubbed itself America’s Seaplane City. The name is quite fitting, considering the number of seaplanes landing there. Pilots come from all over the world to the lakeshore city.

Of course, you don’t have to own a seaplane to experience the exhilaration of landing on a lake. Jones Brothers and Company in Tavares offers seaplane rides of varying lengths, allowing locals to get a birds-eye view of Lake County’s natural beauty.

“We average about three or four flights per day,” says Kevin Vetter, an employee at Jones Brothers and Company. “Seaplanes definitely have become a big part of this community.”

To experience a thrilling seaplane ride, call Jones Brothers and Company at 352.508.1800.
