Our Team
at Seaplane Safaris
Captain J.P. Roberts
Born and raised in the Bahamas until the age of 16, I later moved to the UK to pursue my education and build a career in commercial aviation. Over the course of 25 years as a long-haul pilot with Virgin Atlantic, I logged more than 25,000 hours of flight time, operating in some of the most demanding international airspaces and consistently upholding the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and service.
​
In 2022, I returned to the Bahamas to establish Seaplane Safaris, bringing with me a deeply ingrained safety culture shaped by decades of experience at a world-class airline. From inception, my focus has been to deliver a premium, secure, and seamless aviation experience for discerning clients who value discretion, comfort, and above all—safety.
Our Team!
At the heart of Seaplane Safaris is a world-class operational team that exemplifies professionalism, precision, and passion. Every member of our crew — from pilots and engineers to ground support and logistics — brings a wealth of training and dedication to their role. Together, they ensure each flight meets the highest standards of safety and service, delivering seamless experiences for every guest who flies with us.
​
What makes our team truly special is that we are proudly 100% Bahamian. We are not only experts in aviation, but ambassadors of these islands — deeply connected to the culture, geography, and spirit of The Bahamas. This local expertise, combined with rigorous international training and an unwavering commitment to excellence, allows us to offer a level of service that is both authentically Bahamian and globally outstanding. We are immensely proud of the people who make Seaplane Safaris soar.
