About the Searey Aircraft SeaRey

The Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey is a two-seat amphibious light-sport aircraft that brought affordable water flying to the recreational aviation market when it debuted in the mid-1990s. Built primarily as a kit aircraft, the SeaRey features a pusher-engine configuration, high wing, and retractable landing gear that allows operations from both water and conventional runways. Its fiberglass hull and folding wings make it trailerable, appealing to owners without hangar access or those who want to explore different lakes and coastal areas.

Powered by a Rotax 912-series engine producing 80 to 100 horsepower, the SeaRey cruises around 80 knots and offers a range of approximately 400 nautical miles. The aircraft's relatively low stall speed of 35 knots in landing configuration and docile handling characteristics make it accessible to sport pilots, while its amphibious capability opens up thousands of waterways unavailable to land-only aircraft. The type has proven popular in coastal regions, lake country, and Alaska, where water access dramatically expands operational flexibility.

While not breaking speed or altitude records, the SeaRey carved out a unique niche as one of the few factory-supported amphibious LSA designs available to builders and buyers. Its combination of affordability, versatility, and the pure enjoyment of water operations has sustained a loyal following among recreational pilots who value adventure over raw performance. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators over routes, with the most frequently observed operator.
