When family visits Punta Gorda, the challenge is finding something everyone will talk about afterward. You can show them the waterfront, enjoy a meal and take a walk around town—but there is another way to experience Southwest Florida: from an open cockpit above Charlotte Harbor and the beaches!
A completely different view of familiar places
A scenic flight aboard Gracie, Suncoast Biplanes’ WACO YMF-5C reveals the shapes of the Peace River, harbor and coastal communities in a way that cannot be appreciated from the ground. The wind, the open sky and the sound of the airplane make the experience as memorable as the scenery.
An outing to share
Gracie carries one or two guests together in the front cockpit, subject to passenger and combined-weight requirements. That makes it a thoughtful choice for visiting parents, adult children, friends or grandparents who want a shared adventure. The Harbor Tour is a short introduction, while longer options offer additional scenery and time aloft.
Make it part of the visit
Pair a morning flight with lunch in Punta Gorda, or give a flight as a special-occasion surprise. Flights operate by advance reservation and depend on weather, so choose a date early in your guests’ stay if flexibility matters.
