Immediately greeted, we had a morning flight and they were not busy at all. My hubs didn't know how I'd like it so we only took the beach flight which was $50/person and lasted about 5 minutes in the air. You check in and then when they are ready for the flight, they drive you over to the flight pad area. They offer to take your picture in front of the helicopter which of course I opted YES! They then go over safety information while the pilot checks the helicopter for fluids and such. We put on our life vests and got in! Pilot was very friendly and explained stuff the entire time. My daughter was happy since she got to sit in the front. We felt very safe while flying and will definitely be back!! Highly recommend if you're thinking about doing this. But I'd pay to be in flight longer next time. Definitely want to take the tour of the entire St. Augustine area.

Both of the employees there were very friendly and extremely nice. Of course getting a beautiful sunset is a gamble because you never know how the weather will be, but I would have to say it was one of the best sunsets I've seen. The duration of the flight was a perfect amount of time. Flies over the ocean, the St Augustine pier, around the lighthouse, intercostal and by the fort. On our trip we were lucky enough to see dolphins also. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! It's a blast!!! I would go again too.

What a wonderful experience !…read more I booked a flight lesson on VirginExperiences and had no issues receiving information / confirmation after booking, and when I had questions. It was very easy to get to the location once you turn into the street! It was affordable and fun; our instructor Daniel was very informative and easy going! I felt at ease during the whole flight! He was professional and calm which I always appreciate when learning new things because it can be stressful when you know your life is on the line ! You come in ten minutes before your lesson, sign a waiver, fly and if you have any payment left due you should pay at the end, we paid in full through the website. Everything took less than 10min from our arrival to get into the plane! Very laid back and easy experience

This was a ton of great tasting good for the price. The pulled pork was flavorful with a light smokey flavor. Coleslaw was good with a nice slight vinegar bite. Their sauces on the tables in the covered outdoor eating area are awesome! Couldn't pick my favorite between the mustard, spicy vinegar or sweet thick BBQ sauce. They also offer helicopter rides which we saw some people goin on but we didn't have time. Overall, the food was great and a nice lunch spot to grab a bite and sit outside. I would recommend this place to any BBQ/food truck fan!

The owner offered us samples of the homemade smoked sausage that was rich and meaty without being overly spiced. My husband ordered the rib plate and I ordered the chicken plate. Both came with two sides, garlic toast, homemade pickle slices and a cute little cinnamon roll. We tried the hand-cut fries, okra, cole slaw and baked beans. Everything was wonderful and we have enough for a second (and possibly third) meal. Our favorites were the chicken, beans and their sweet sauce (Yum!). You can either take it to go or eat at their picnic tables that are under an awning. It is definitely worth visiting for handmade BBQ done right.

I callled and…read morelet them know that I would be arriving in Florida for four days and asked would this be adequate time to complete the five hours of flight training. I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.

David welcomed the group on arrival, explained the proposed plans, assured us that he would tailor activities to our needs, abilities and interests and then invited us to share about ourselves to facilitate bonding. He then established a WhatsApp group to communicate daily plans and keep the group connected. David is an excellent driver, who alerts the group whenever there are points of interest or wildlife to be seen. He ensures you get great photographs, while keeping you safe. David has years of hiking experiences and is very knowledgeable. He has a calm approach to planning and problem solving and engages with all members of the group individually. He adapts the program to the conditions and the group, and was a great support when my husband hurt his knee. I would highly recommend David's tours to people of all ages!

I started flying here last year to earn my private pilot license. A few months ago, I was on a solo…read moreflight and had a hard landing that resulted in damage to the plane. It affected my confidence as a pilot and also I had a lot of (unnecessary) financial stress caused by the school and the owner Seth. If you are a new pilot seeking guidance and support, this is not the school to go to! In terms of their actual flight training, I can look back and realize that their instruction was very lackluster. Safety was not a top priority, rather it felt like everyone at the school was there to socialize. Now that I have experience at a new school, I can reflect on policies/procedures that were not implemented at JBA. One of the biggest things being that I didn't have an official personal weather minimums on paper. Frankly, I was a new pilot and didn't know how important this is for solo flights, but JBA instructors failed to teach me this. In fact, the morning before the flight where I had my hard landing, I had texted my instructor expressing concern about the weather/winds and was told I "would be fine". I was also taught to "salvage" my landings when I bounced, and there wasn't a strong emphasis on go arounds. This nonchalant attitude was pretty standard at JBA, which is dangerous when operating an aircraft (especially a student). Additionally, the financial turmoil that JBA and specifically the owner of the school, Seth, caused me was one of the worst parts of this experience. I had the insurance that the school REQUIRED me to have, so I thought that everything would be okay with the school when I had to use said insurance. I was very wrong because Seth came after me personally and sent me a bill for $81,000. He kept calling/texting my personal number even though I made it clear that I wanted everything to be handled with the agent assigned to my case through email. He also kept approaching me at the gym where I regularly go to (and he occasionally goes to) and tried to talk to me about personal matters in a very public setting. Seth's unethical handling of the aircraft damage claim and questionable billing was very disappointing. My conclusion for JBA is that its flight program is severely inadequate and does not promote safety. My experience is proof of that, and Seth's conduct and attitude further confirm my exceedingly low opinion of his operation.
