Antilles Air Boats

Antilles Air Boats was a seaplane airline based in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Available information indicates that it was established in 1963 and provided inter-island passenger services using seaplanes. Its role was regional air transport within the archipelago rather than scheduled trunk service between major airports. The brand ceased operations in the 1990s and is no longer an active airline. Reliable public information about its exact routes, fleet size, ownership structure, and precise closure date is insufficient, so those details are not stated here.

Antilles Air Boats was established in 1963 and operated in the U.S. Virgin Islands, providing inter-island passenger services with seaplanes. Unlike airlines dependent on conventional airports, its operating model used water landing areas to provide short-distance air links within the archipelago. Available material does not reliably identify its founder, specific base, route network, aircraft types, or ownership changes. The company ceased operations in the 1990s, ending the brand’s life as an airline operator. Because accessible verifiable records are limited, the precise closure year and reasons for cessation cannot currently be determined.
