Most of the time, you hear people talking about the seamless ability to travel by boat in Winter Haven because of the incredible 24 canal-connected lakes that we have at our finger tips. While that's true, boats and kayaks aren't the only way you can get around our town. Only 10 minutes from downtown is our very own public-use airport. It's not only close to our downtown, but it's perfectly located centrally so that its easy to get to places like LEGOLAND Florida Resort, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal and many other tourists attractions in Central Florida. The Winter Haven Airport supports 80,000 flight operations per year and is continuously growing. 

Adjacent to the Winter Haven airport is Jack Brown's Seaplane Base. Jack Brown's is the destination for seaplane training, as their team has trained over 25,000 seaplane pilots for over 57 years! In just two days, pilots can add a seaplane rating to their sport, private and commercial certificates for as little as $1,700.

Obviously visitors come because of the central location and the amenities of these incredible aviation destinations, but there is another reason why Winter Haven is the perfect place to take to the skies. Almost year round, Winter Haven experiences sunshine and clear skies, making it the perfect place to fly a plane. Our town is the bread and butter of seaplane pilots because we have 55 lakes to land on and that's just in Winter Haven! If you or someone you know it interested in Winter Haven aviation, they can contact the Winter Haven Airport or Jack Brown's Seaplane Base at the numbers below:

Winter Haven Airport - 863-298-4551. Extension: 1.
Jack Brown's Seaplane Base - ​863-956-2243
