Seasonal floatplane sightseeing, charters and float training from Parry Sound, Ontario
Georgian Bay Airways Ltd. is a floatplane operator based on the waterfront in Parry Sound, Ontario, at 11A Bay Street next to the town dock. It flies seasonally, roughly from spring to autumn, over Georgian Bay and the 30,000 Islands area.
The company's main business is sightseeing by seaplane, including island tours, fly-and-dine trips to a restaurant reachable by water and fly-in day trips. It has also offered private charters, including transfers to and from Toronto and Hamilton Harbour and services for resorts and groups.
Training is a second line of business. Georgian Bay Airways has run float endorsement courses and bush pilot programmes of different lengths, along with Cessna rental for qualified pilots.
According to its website as archived in 2019, the fleet then consisted of two Cessna 180s, two Cessna 206s (one amphibious) and a Cessna 172, all on floats and operated from Parry Sound harbour. Flyers should confirm the current fleet and season before booking.
Its charter work suits short regional hops and scenic trips in Ontario cottage country rather than long-distance jet travel. Seaplane travel also allows landings on lakes and bays that have no runway nearby.
