Where the sea ends, your journey begins. From the coastal airfields to highland lochs, Basil Aviation proudly presents the Skipper — the floatplane that doesn’t just land on water… it commands it. At its heart, a single powerhouse: the Sapphire Conch, delivering a staggering 1,900 horsepower. With a top speed of 279 miles per hour (or 449 kilometres per hour for those charting new waters), the Skipper is as quick as it is confident. Need to reach that island lodge? That remote fjord? That offshore research station? The Basil Skipper makes light work of it all — taking off in moments, skimming the waves with grace, and cruising in comfort. Designed for utility, styled for adventure, and built the Basil way — sturdy, spirited, and just a little showy.
