Jones Brothers Air and Seaplane Adventures, a popular attraction based in Tavares, was recently acquired by Peter Closi, a Florida native and entrepreneur who has helicopter and seaplane tour operations in Key West and St. Petersburg/Clearwater.

“I have a passion for aviation and see a tremendous amount of growth potential for Jones Brothers with its symbiotic relationship with the City of Tavares,” says Peter. “With thousands of glassy water lakes, Lake County is a very ideal location for training seaplane pilots and I only see the demand increasing. By the end of the year, I plan to double the number of employees, triple the fleet of aircraft, and call Lake County home.”
