Land Anywhere
Orca floats enable exploration of remote locations inaccessible by traditional runways. Orca floats allow landings on shorter lakes, rivers, beaches, unpaved strips and more, providing deeper access to the backcountry and a unique connection with nature. This flexibility enhances your adventures, transforming wilderness experiences and inspiring new ideas. Embrace the freedom to explore and discover endless possibilities.
Effortless Takeoff, Smooth Water Entry
Our innovative keel design starts with a steep angle at the front, progressively flattening toward the step. This unique feature enables faster step-on transitions for effortless takeoffs while the sharp V-shaped front slices through the water smoothly, ensuring superior performance in any condition.
Revolutionary Spreader Bar Design
Traditional spreader bars connect floats, but ours do more—they work for you. With a carefully engineered positive angle of attack, our spreader bars generate lift, improving takeoff performance and reducing drag. It’s a simple, innovative solution that gets you on the step faster and helps you soar.
Ground Clearance Meets Landing Comfort
Our innovative single-sided swingarm design features a 2:1 suspension ratio for the main landing gear, delivering exceptional performance. With high ground clearance to tackle rough terrain and advanced suspension engineering, our floats ensure incredibly smooth landings, even in challenging conditions
Lightweight, Rugged
Orca Floats are engineered to handle the toughest conditions while staying lightweight for optimal performance. Our bottom keel is protected with replaceable UHMW hard plastic, ensuring durability when beaching on rocks and rough terrain. To further enhance performance, our sister keels feature custom aluminum extrusions with an optimized profile for faster step-on transitions. These extrusions are stiffer than standard sheet metal designs, providing exceptional bottom strength. To minimize weight, we also custom-make our rudders and boarding steps in carbon fiber, delivering unmatched durability and innovation.
Engineered for Builders, Designed for Life
Our floats are crafted with precision laser-cut aluminum parts, ensuring consistent quality and making assembly easier than ever. Each rivet hole is pre-cut for a perfect fit, allowing for quick and seamless assembly. Need a replacement part? No problem—our parts are guaranteed to fit perfectly every time, keeping maintenance simple and stress-free
Designed by EAA Hall of Fame Designer
