Seaborne Virgin Island Inc, operating as Seaborne Airlines, is a FAR Part 121 airline headquartered in Carolina, Puerto Rico, near the territory's capital of San Juan. It operates a seaplane shuttle service between St. Croix and St. Thomas. Originally headquartered on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the company relocated to Puerto Rico in 2014.
Since April 2018, the airline has been owned by its parent company Silver Airways. Today, Silver Airways operates all new ATR42 and ATR72-600 aircraft to the destinations previously served by Seaborne from San Juan. Seaborne's operations are now centrally operated from St Croix with daily flights to St Thomas on De Havilland DHC-6-300 aircraft. The United States Virgin Islands' only seaplane airline will be expanding seaplane service into 2024.
