WHAT WE DO
In the coastal town of Homer, Alaska, where mountains meet the sea and bush planes are part of everyday life, a determined female pilot had a vision. In 2016, with a love for flying and a deep connection to the rugged landscape she called home, Stephanie founded Beryl Air — a small family owned air taxi service. Stephanie poured her heart into building a business that reflected both her adventurous spirit and her commitment to her community.
Beryl Air is named after Beryl Markham, the first Aviatrix to cross the Atlantic from East to West, against the prevailing winds. In her spirit for Challenge and Adventure, we continue to fly small airplanes in undeveloped places. Beryl Air has quickly become more than just a company — we are a lifeline, a storyteller of the skies, and a symbol of what’s possible when passion meets perseverance.
Whether we’re flying fishermen to remote rivers, bringing travelers face-to-face with coastal brown bears, hauling essential supplies to off-grid cabins, or helping create unforgettable holiday memories, we’re proud to be part of the stories that unfold across this incredible landscape.
Our home base is on the shores of Beluga Lake, at the Homer Seaplane Base, where our two rugged and reliable Cessna 206 floatplanes are ready for the next adventure. Maintained to the highest standards and piloted with care, our aircraft are more than machines — they’re trusted partners in exploring some of the most remote places on earth.
At the heart of it all, we believe flying isn’t just about getting from point A to B — it’s about the people we meet along the way and the shared love for the wild, untamed spirit of Alaska.
