“Safari Seaplanes” has been flying Maule seaplanes for over 16 years now! Its proven reliability and safety record have pleased thousands of clients over the company's successful years of service in the Bahamas.

We are proud to feature our new Maule M7-260 on Baumann Amphibian floats. Now able to service airports and water landings! She can carry 2-3 persons and light luggage comfortably flying at an average of 120mph

Built in Moultrie, Georgia the famous S.T.O.L. (Short Takeoff and Landing) aircraft was the brainchild of the late B.D. Maule. All the history can be found on the Aircraft Company website: www.mauleairinc.com
The airframe is constructed of steel which is then specially coated with protective barriers against corrosion, both on the outer surfaces and within! The frame is then covered in a fabric finish which is quite complex to complete but the results are amazing. A very strong, light fuselage is rigged with aluminum wings and fiberglass cowling.

The M7-260 Maule is powered by a Lycoming IO-540 260hp engine, one of the ‘work horses’ of the aviation industry. Added to her underside is a set of aluminum floats manufactured in Wisconsin. The three bladed McCauley propeller creates a fabulous combination of grace and power that allows the seaplane to cruise at 120mph and land at less than 50mph in a matter of feet! Full of fuel the seaplane can fly for over four hours. The large windows and high wing allow spectacular views offered to the clientele that fly in this wonderful machine!

Some of the landing sites in the Bahama Out-Islands are very small confined areas that only the Maule can handle. Its takeoff performance is unmatched by any other seaplane of this size!
