Aero Adventure Aventura Ii

Single Piston

The Aero Adventure Aventura II is an American-built amphibious light sport aircraft that brought affordable water operations to the recreational flying market starting in the early 2000s. Designed as a high-wing pusher configuration with a single piston engine mounted above the cabin, the Aventura II qualifies under U.S. Light Sport Aircraft rules with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds, making it accessible to sport pilots without requiring a full private pilot certificate. Its fiberglass hull and retractable landing gear allow operations from both conventional runways and water, a versatility rare in the LSA category. The type cruises around 80 knots with a never-exceed speed of 120 knots, and its low stall speed of 35 knots in landing configuration makes it forgiving for water touchdowns and short-field operations. While not a speed demon, the Aventura II carved out a niche among pilots seeking an economical amphibian for backcountry lakes and coastal exploration. SkyMeter has tracked 521 flights across 187 airframes and 48 operators, with EVOLUTION AIRCRAFT INC the largest observed operator.
