Owner Stories

Meet Our Pilots

Real owners. Real aircraft. Real missions.

Mike in Texas

Weekend flying, cross-country trips, and teaching his son to fly in the Marlin. "Nothing else gives you this much freedom with this level of simplicity."

Flying in Alaska

Bush operations and remote lake access with the Marlin. "Amphibious changes everything when you live off the grid."

Water Ops in Florida

Weekend amphibious flying along the Gulf Coast. "I fly off the water behind my house. Try doing that in a Cessna."

Retired Airline Pilot

After 30 years in the left seat of a 737, the Marlin Signature Series is pure flying joy. "This is why I became a pilot."

Kit Builder — Ohio

Built the Marlin in 6 days at the builder assist center. "I walked in with no experience and flew home a week later."

Coastal Patrol Volunteer

Using the Marlin for environmental monitoring along the Carolina coastline. "Practical aviation that actually does something."
