Ever wondered why Punta Gorda is called Punta Gorda? ✈️🌴

Take a look from Gracie’s point of view and it all starts to make sense.

Punta Gorda means “Fat Point” in Spanish — named for that broad point of land jutting out into the beautiful waters of Charlotte Harbor. And from the air, you can REALLY see it.

These two shots capture some of the sights we get to share with our passengers:

🌴 Punta Gorda Isles and its incredible maze of canals
🌊 The vast expanse of Charlotte Harbor
🚗 The twin US 41 bridges crossing the Peace River
🏨 Sunseeker Resort on the waterfront
☀️ And, when the timing is just right, one spectacular Florida sunset

You drive past these places all the time. But seeing them from an open-cockpit biplane gives you a completely different perspective on the place we call home.

No windows. No walls. Just Gracie, the Florida breeze and one heck of a view.

How well do you REALLY know Punta Gorda? Come see it from above. ✈️

👉 Ready to fly? Book your seat in Gracie and experience Charlotte Harbor from the best viewpoint in town.

🏆 We won Newcomer of the Year 2026! 🏆

We’re incredibly proud to share that Suncoast Biplanes was named Newcomer of the Year at the Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet!

When we started Suncoast Biplanes, our goal was simple: share the magic of open-cockpit flying, showcase this beautiful part of Southwest Florida from the air, and give people an experience they’ll remember for a very long time.

To be recognized by the Punta Gorda Chamber and our local business community means a great deal to us.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, flown with us, recommended us, partnered with us, shared our posts, or simply stopped by to say hello. You’ve all helped make Suncoast Biplanes what it is today.

And, of course, we couldn’t do any of it without Gracie. ❤️✈️

We’re still the newcomers… but we’re just getting started!

Thank you, Punta Gorda!

✈️ Taco Tuesday is about to get a whole lot more adventurous! 🌮

You already know Taco Tuesday at the City of Arcadia Municipal Airport is a fun place to grab lunch, watch the planes come and go, and enjoy a little local flavor. Soon, you may have the chance to see Arcadia from an entirely new perspective!

Suncoast Biplanes is bringing “Gracie,” their open-cockpit WACO biplane, to Arcadia, offering rides over the city during Taco Tuesdays.

Imagine finishing your tacos and then climbing aboard a biplane for a bird’s-eye view of Arcadia. Now THAT is a Tuesday to remember. 🌮✈️

📍 Arcadia Municipal Airport
🌮 Taco Tuesday: Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m.–3 p.m.
✈️ Takeoff COMING SOON!

You'll never quite know what kind of adventure you’ll find in DeSoto County.

We could tell you how much fun it is to fly with Gracie…

But we think our passengers say it better. 😁✈️

There’s just something about climbing into the open cockpit of a biplane, taking off into the Florida sunshine and watching the coastline unfold beneath you.

And judging by these faces, we’re not the only ones who think so!

Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, vacation, bucket-list adventure, special gift — or simply because you’ve always wanted to do it — come make a memory with us.

Your seat is waiting. Your smile is next.

Even on our days off, we’re still flying grandparents and grandkids… this time our own! 🤣

Today was a pretty special one for the Suncoast Biplanes family as our granddaughter Norah (7) took her very first flight in Gracie — with Nan right beside her. ❤️

We spend a lot of time helping other families make memories in our beautiful biplane, so it was cool to make one of our own today.

One very happy little granddaughter getting her first taste of open-cockpit flying!

Something tells us it might not be her last… ✈️

Welcome to the Gracie club, Norah!

Well…Tampa just got beaten. By quite a distance. 🇩🇪✈️

We mentioned recently that people are traveling from Tampa, Naples, Fort Lauderdale and beyond to come fly with Gracie.

Yesterday, we raised the bar a little.

GERMANY!

Hans and Mattias found Suncoast Biplanes online while they were still back home in Germany, booked their flight through GetYourGuide, and made a ride in Gracie part of their Florida adventure.

How cool is that?

There’s something pretty special about knowing that someone can be sitting thousands of miles away, planning their trip to Florida, stumble across a picture of Gracie and think:

“Yep. We HAVE to do that.”

And yesterday, they did.

They climbed aboard Gracie and experienced Southwest Florida the way we think it looks best — from an open cockpit, with the wind in their faces and nothing between them and the view.

Thanks for coming such a long way to fly with us, guys. We loved having you aboard!

So…anyone from Australia want to have a go at breaking the record? 😎

Two Beach Tours. Four happy passengers. And two very different reasons to fly. ✈️🌴

Yesterday, Gracie was flying out of Venice, and we loved the stories behind our passengers.

First up: two brothers whose grandmother gave them a biplane flight for Christmas. Now that’s a Christmas present they’ll remember!

Then we welcomed a couple whose flight was a “Welcome to Your New Home” gift from their realtor. Forget the fruit basket — how about seeing your new home and neighborhood from the open cockpit of a vintage biplane? 😎

And it got us thinking about just how far people are traveling to fly with Gracie.

We’ve welcomed passengers from Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Naples and beyond — people making the trip to Southwest Florida for an experience that’s a little different from the everyday.

Birthdays. Anniversaries. Christmas presents. New homes. Bucket lists. Or simply “I’ve always wanted to do this.”

Everyone has a different reason for climbing aboard.

But when Joy opens the door at the end of their flight, they always climb out with the same big grin.

All in a day’s work for Gracie.

So…what will your reason be?

✈️ Come fly the Florida coast with us.

Gracie’s been a busy bee again this week! 🐝✈️

Three Harbor Tours, a Beach Tour, plus a little refresher and currency training for one of our pilots. She’s certainly been earning her keep!

And yes…it’s August in Florida. ⛈️☀️🌧️

Storms? Rain? Morning AND afternoon downpours? No problem. We keep a close eye on the weather and fit our flights into the good windows whenever they appear.

And when they do…there really is no better place to be than in Gracie’s open cockpit, with the Florida coastline spread out below you.

So here’s the question:

When are YOU going to come fly with Gracie?

Bring someone special. Pick your tour. Climb aboard. And discover just how different Southwest Florida looks from a vintage biplane.
