What you can train for at Seattle Seaplanes
Instrument rating

$10,000–15,000on top of the private
Flying by reference to instruments, in cloud and at night with real dispatch reliability. The rating that turns a licence into transport.
Those are the honest industry ranges, not this school’s rate card — this school does not publish one, and almost none do. Ring us and we will get you their actual number, at their price, with nothing added for coming through us.
What Seattle Seaplanes publishes about itself
Certificates and ratings named on their site: private pilot and flight instructor (CFI).
Aircraft named on their site: Cessna 172.
Their site describes career-track, professional-pilot training.
Read off their own website in July 2026. We have not called them to confirm any of it — that is what the phone number at the top is for, and we will do it for you free.
Everything above is assembled from 3 pages of their own website, read in July 2026, and their public Google Maps listing. Nobody here has called Seattle Seaplanes, visited them, or flown with them, so there is no opinion of ours on this page and no rating of ours anywhere on it. When we do call a school it gets a ✓ and a summary written by a person — you can see what that looks like on the Arizona pages.
Whether they run an FAA Part 141 programme or train under Part 61. Most independents never publish it, and a blank here is not a no.
Whether they take complete beginners, and what a first lesson with them costs.
Their prices. They do not publish a rate card, and almost no school does.
When their office is actually open.
Every one of those is a phone call, and it is the call we make for free. Tell us what matters to you and we will ask them, then tell you what they said — including if the answer is that you should go somewhere else.
What do the public reviews say?
Google shows a 4.8 rating across 149 reviews (checked July 2026). We show that as plain text rather than dressing it up as our own rating, because we did not collect it and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Tell us what you are after and we will call Seattle Seaplanes and the two or three nearest alternatives, ask the questions you would not think to ask, and tell you honestly what we find. Free, and you pay the school directly at their own price.
