The word seaplane, or better yet, amphibious seaplane, "amphibian", quickly comes to mind to the aviation enthusiast who thinks about flying from land and sea.  Then Lake Aircraft and the Lake Amphibian automatically becomes a part of your thoughts.  Team Lake has the experience to assist you in evaluating your water flying needs. Team Lake has 30 years experience with all aspects of the lake aircraft line of great amphibians, from the Skimmer to the LA4, the Lake Buccaneer (LA4-200), the 200 EP and the LA250 Renegade, Turbo 270 Renegade, Seafury, and Seawolf.  Team Lake can answer all your questions, offer new or used Lake Aircraft for sale, and provide the expertise that will ensure your satisfaction as an aircraft owner.

The Lake Amphibian was designed and built as an amphibious aircraft, not converted as float planes are.  In recent years, general aviation has had tough competition from experimental aircraft, homebuilt types.  But with very few exceptions, none have what it takes to meet the muster of FAA certification.  When it comes to your family's safety, it is comforting to know there is one company that offers an FAA certified product with over 50 years of manufacturing experience.  Lake Aircraft, builders of the world's only single engine production (FAA certified) amphibious aircraft, not only offers performance, versatility and safety in one aircraft, but also the people to support what they build and sell.

The Lake line includes both civilian and military models.  The Lake Amphibian evolved from the Grumman line of great amphibians, the Widgeon, Goose and Albatross.  The Lake line started with the Colonial Skimmer.  Colonial Aircraft Company first flew the Skimmer in 1948.  Lake Aircraft introduced the LA4 (180 HP) in 1960 and the LA4/200 (The Lake Buccaneer) in 1970.  Lake Aircraft first introduced the LA 250 (The Lake Renegade) in 1984 and the Turbo Renegade (270 hp) in 1987.  In 1994, Lake introduced a new product with a salt water "beef up" for added corrosion protection, the Seafury.  Today, the Seafury and the Seawolf, a military version, are still being produced.

A specialized flight training program insures the lowest insurance rates in the water flying, seaplane, float plane world.  When you think about it, safety and insurability go hand in hand.

If you thought your aviation or transportation needs could only be met by a special use aircraft, or 10 hours in a SUV, I am glad you found the Lake Amphibian. Team Lake can offer the best in general aviation, STOL performance, safety, and versatility.

We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your flying needs.  We believe we have a better alternative to any Cessna or float plane.  Even if you are considering a Piper or new Piper Aircraft, Beechcraft, or Mooney, we think we can compete with them all and land you in the water (more than once).
